Playing career

Born in Lusmagh, County Offaly, Temple played hurling as a secondary school student at Banagher Vocational School. He won an All-Ireland Vocational Schools' SHC medal in 1989, following a 1–12 to 2–06 win over Roscrea in the final. [1]

Temple first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with Lusmagh, before progressing to the club's senior team. He came on as a substitute in the 1–11 to 1–10 win over Seir Kieran in 1989, when the club captured their inaugural Offaly SHC title. [2]

At inter-county level, Temple made his first appearance for Offaly as part of the under-21 team beaten by Galway in the 1991 All-Ireland U21HC final. [3] Temple made his senior team debut during Offaly's National Hurling League-winning campaign in 1991. He made a number of appearances in the league over the following few seasons and was an unused substitute when Offaly beat Limerick in the 1994 All-Ireland final. [4] [5]

Temple has also been involved in coaching and team management as a selector with the Lusmagh senior team. [6]
