Patrick O'Donovan (born 2003) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with Effin and at inter-county level he lines out with the Limerick senior hurling team.
O'Donovan first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Effin club. As a schoolboy at CBS Charleville, he lined out in various schools' competitions. [1] O'Donovan eventually progressed to the Effin adult team and won a Limerick IHC medal in his debut season in 2021. [2] He later lined out with University of Limerick in the Fitzgibbon Cup. [3]
O'Donovan first appeared on the inter-county scene with Limerick during a two-year stint with the Limerick minor hurling team. He won consecutive Munster MHC titles in 2019 and 2020. [4] [5] O'Donovan immediately joined the under-20 team, however, a series of injuries impacted on his progress. He was at left corner-forward when Kilkenny beat Limerick in the 2022 All-Ireland under-20 final. [6] His third and final season in the under-20 grade saw him appointed vice-captain. [7]
After being added to the Limerick senior hurling team pre-season training panel, O'Donovan made his Munster Hurling Cup debut in a defeat of Kerry in 2022. [8]
