Playing career

[edit | edit source]

Hand first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Kilcormac Vocational School. At club level, he was part of a hugely successful underage era for the Kilcormac–Killoughey club as part of three successive Offaly U21HC-winning teams. He later played at adult level with Kilcormac–Killoughey. At inter-county level, Hand first played for Offaly during a two-year tenure with the minor team. He later lined out with the under-21 team but ended his underage career without success. Hand's only senior team appearance was in a 3–06 to 2–06 defeat by Down in the National Hurling League.[1]

Management career

[edit | edit source]

Hand had his first success in club management when he guided Ballinamere to the Offaly IHC title in 2017.[2] He secured a second successive promotion after managing the team to the Offaly SBHC in 2018.[3] Hand later took charge of his home club of Kilcormac–Killoughey. He managed the team to three successive Offaly SHC final appearances, with consecutive wins in 2023 and 2024.[4][5]
