He captained Kilruane MacDonaghs to the All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1986, having earlier won four Tipperary SHC titles.[2][3]
Sheppard first lined out at inter-county level as a forward on the Tipperary minor hurling team during the 1974 Munster MHC campaign. He later spent two seasons with the under-21 team. Sheppard first played with the senior team during their successful 1978-79 National League campaign. He made his only championship appearance when he captained the team in 1986.[4] Sheppard was a non-playing substitute when Tipperary beat Cork in the 1987 Munster final replay.
