Career

O'Doherty first played hurling to a high standard as a student at St. Flannan's College in Ennis. He was a member of the Flannan's team that beat Thurles CBS to win the Harty Cup title in 2005, before later defeating St Kieran's College to claim All-Ireland honours.[1][2] O'Doherty later lined out at adult club level with Crusheen and won back-to-back Clare SHC titles in 2010 and 2011.[3][4] He was also part of the Crusheen team defeated by Na Piarsaigh in the 2011 Munster club final.[5]

O'Doherty first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare during a two-year tenure with the minor team in 2005 and 2006. He later spent three consecutive seasons with the under-21 team and captained the team to their very first All-Ireland U21HC title in 2009.[6] O'Doherty was later part of the Clare senior hurling team during their National Hurling League-winning campaign in 2016.[7]
