Career

Powell made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of nineteen when he was selected for the Tipperary junior team. After an unsuccessful season with the junior team, he later joined the Tipperary senior team and made his debut during the 1918 championship. The highlight of Powell's inter-county career came in when he was part of the Tipperary team that won the 1920 All-Ireland final. Powell was the stand out player in the game, scoring 1-3 of Tipperary's 1-6 in their victory over Dublin. His late goal was critical.[2]

He also won three Munster medals.
