Playing career

[edit]

Club

[edit]

O'Rourke plays his club hurling with Bruree and has enjoyed much success.

In 2006 he lined out in his first hurling championship decider. Patrickswell were the opponents, however, a narrow 1-16 to 1-15 victory gave O'Rourke a Limerick Senior Hurling Championship medal.[1]

Inter-county

[edit]

O'Rourke made his senior debut for Limerick in a National League game against Antrim in 2007.[2] He played a number of games during that campaign and was subsequently included on Limerick's championship panel.

After a number of seasons O'Rourke was recalled to the panel in 2010. He made his championship debut that year in a Munster semi-final defeat by Cork.[3][4]
