Career

edit

Moore first came to prominence as a hurler at colleges level with St. Colman's College in Fermoy. At club level he enjoyed a distinguished career with a variety of clubs, including Lisgoold, Bride Rovers and Carrigtwohill, while he was also selected for divisional side Imokilly.

At inter-county level Moore first played for the Cork minor hurling team in 1948, however, his two seasons in this grade ended without championship success. He made his debut for the Cork senior hurling team during the 1950 championship, however, he was dropped from the panel shortly afterwards. Impressive form at club level saw Moore return to the Cork senior team in 1954. It was a successful season that culminated with the winning of an All-Ireland Championship medal at midfield.[1] Moore was once again dropped from the panel but made one final appearance in 1957.
