Playing career

Club

O'Gorman played his club hurling with the famous St. Finbarr's club and enjoyed much success. He won four senior county championship winners' medals in all, with these victories coming in 1919, 1922, 1923 and 1926.

Inter-county

O'Gorman first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork senior hurling team in 1912. That year he won his first Munster winners' medal following a provincial final defeat of Limerick.[1] The All-Ireland final saw Cork line out against Dublin. 'The Rebels' were coasting at half-time with Jimmy Kennedy havings scored four goals. He had two more disallowed to give his side a 4-2 to 1-1 lead. Cork ploughed on in the second-half to secure a 6-4 to 2-4 victory.[2] This victory gave O'Gorman a coveted All-Ireland winners' medal. This was also the first occasion that Cork wore their distinctive red jerseys. The old saffron and blue jerseys had been seized by the British before the game so alternative arrangements had to be made.

In 1920 O'Gorman, who was captain of the team for the year, won a second and final Munster title following another victory over Limerick. A second All-Ireland final appearance beckoned, however, Cork failed to retain their title. A goal blitz by Joe Phelan, Jimmy Walsh and Mick Neville gave Dublin a 4-9 to 4-3 victory.[3] This defeat brought O'Gorman's inter-county career to an end.
