Career

Sampson first came to prominence as a hurler at juvenile and underage levels with the Garryspillane club before eventually progressing onto the club's top adult team.[1] During his club career he claimed championship medals in the junior and intermediate grades, while he also won two senior titles with the Limerick Club in New York. Sampson also represented the St. Flannan's College team in his youth and won consecutive All-Ireland Colleges Championship titles in 1982 and 1983, having earlier won consecutive Harty Cup titles.[2][3] He first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Limerick minor hurling team in 1983, before winning a Munster Under-21 Championship title in 1986. Sampson was a regular with the Limerick senior team for almost a decade, during which time he won two National Hurling League titles.[4]
