Playing career
[edit | edit source]Tuohy played hurling at all levels during his schooldays at St Flannan's College in Ennis. He progressed to the college's senior team and won a Dr Harty Cup medal in 1987 after a 3-12 to 2-06 defeat of Midleton CBS in the final.[1][2] Tuohy later added a Dr Croke Cup medal to his collection, following a 13-point win over St Kieran's College in the 1987 All-Ireland colleges final.[3]
At club level, Tuohy first played for Clarecastle at juvenile and underage levels. He won consecutive Clare MAHC titles and a Clare U21AHC medal before progressing to adult level.[4][5] Tuohy was in his final year of the minor grade when he won the first of four Clare SHC medals. He ended his club career by winning a Munster Club SHC medal after a 2-11 to 0-15 defeat of Patrickswell.[6]
Tuohy first played for Clare at inter-county level as a member of the under-21 team. He progressed to the senior team and made his debut against Tipperary in the 1990-91 National League. Tuohy was part of the Clare team that bridged a 63-year gap to win the Munster SHC title in 1995.[7] He later claimed an All-Ireland SHC medal after Clare beat Offaly to claim the title for the first time in 81 years.[8]
Tuohy won a second Munster SHC title in 1997, before claiming a second All-Ireland SHC winners' medal after a defeat of Tipperary in the 1997 All-Ireland final.[9] He won a third Munster SHC medal in four seasons in 1998.[10]
Management career
[edit | edit source]Tuohy had just brought his playing career to an end when he immediately became involved in management.
