Career

O'Gorman first played hurling at club level, alongside his brother Denis O'Gorman, with Holycross-Ballycahill. After progressing from the minor ranks, he was a member of the club's senior team that captured three Tipperary SHC titles during a golden age for the club between 1948 and 1954.[2] O'Gorman also won a Mid Tipperary SHC medal in 1947.

O'Gorman's performances at club level earned a call-up to the Tipperary senior hurling team. He won National Hurling League and Munster SHC medals in 1949, and was a non-playing substitute when Tipperary beat Laois in the 1949 All-Ireland final.[3]

Death

O'Gorman died after a period of ill health in December 1990, aged 69.[4]
