Career
Williams first played Gaelic football and hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Kilruane MacDonaghs.[2] He captained the club's minor team to the Tipperary MAHC title in 1971 before later winning consecutive Tipperary U21AHC titles. Williams was at left wing-back on the Kilruane MacDonaghs team that won the All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1986, having earlier won four Tipperary SHC titles and a Tipperary SFC title in 1975.[3][4]
Williams first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary minor hurling team in 1971. He later spent three seasons with the under-21 team, however, his underage career ended without success.
