Career

Born in Westmeath, O'Doherty had his first sporting successes as a student at Limerick CBS. He was part of the school team that won three successive Harty Cup titles, as well as Croke Cup medals in 1964 and 1966. [2] These victories resulted in a call-up to the Limerick minor team, and O'Doherty was at midfield for the defeat by Dublin in the 1965 All-Ireland minor final. [3] He later progressed to the under-21 and senior teams as a dual player and made his Munster SHC debut against Cork in 1968.

O'Doherty was, by that stage, playing his club hurling with St Patrick's. He continued his dual player status during his student days with University College Cork and won consecutive Sigerson Cup medals while also playing with the Fitzgibbon Cup team. After winning the Cork SFC title with UCC in 1969, O'Doherty was called up to the Cork senior football team and captained the team in 1970. [4]

After a period of time spent in England, O'Doherty joined the Glen Rovers club in Cork. He was part of the team that beat St. Rynagh's in the 1973 All-Ireland club final. [5] O'Doherty's club performances earned a call-up to the Cork senior hurling team, however, he was limited to just four National Hurling League appearances. He later claimed a second All-Ireland Club SHC medal after a defeat of Camross in 1977. [6] O'Doherty was, once again, called up to the Cork senior team during this period.
