Séamus Hogan (born 1947) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with Kiladangan, and also lined out at inter-county level with various Tipperary teams.
Early life and education
Hogan was born in Kildangan, County Tipperary, Ireland. He first played hurling as a schoolboy with Kildangan National School, before later boarding at St. Flannan's College in Ennis, where he played in the Harty Cup. He later studied at University College Galway and captained the team to the Fitzgibbon Cup title in 1970.
Club career
Hogan enjoyed a lengthy career with Kiladangan at club level. He won a Tipperary Junior Hurling Championship title in 1971, as well as four North Tipperary Intermediate Hurling Championship medals (1966, 1971, 1977, 1980).
Inter-county career
Hogan first appeared on the inter-county scene with Tipperary as a member of the minor team in 1965. A subsequent two-year stint with the under-21 team yielded an All-Ireland medal in that grade in 1967. He also made a number of appearances for the intermediate team, while making his senior team debut in a challenge game against Wexford in August 1967.
A season with the Galway senior hurling team in 1970 resulted in his selection to the Connacht team in the Railway Cup. He returned to the Tipperary senior team the following year and claimed an All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship medal after a defeat of Kilkenny in the 1971 All-Ireland final. Hogan continued to line out with Tipperary until 1977, during which time he also earned selection to the Munster team.
