Career
[edit]Wyse's club career with Erin's Own spanned three decades. He had the distinction of lining out in every position on the field and won 12 Waterford SHC medals between 1927 and 1948.[1][2]
At inter-county level, Wyse's career with the Waterford senior hurling team began in 1928. He continued to line out until 1939, however, he enjoyed little in the way of success during this period.[3]
