Domhnall O'Donovan (born 29 April 1988) is an Irish hurler who plays as a right corner-back for the Clare senior team.
Born in Clonlara, County Clare, O'Donovan first played competitive hurling whilst at school in St. Munchin's College. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty-one when he first linked up with the Clare under-21 team. He made his senior debut in the 2010 Waterford Crystal Cup.[1] O'Donovan has since gone on to play a key role in defence for Clare.
At club level O'Donovan has won one championship medal with Clonlara.[2]
O'Donovan played a key part in the drawn 2013 All Ireland Senior Hurling Final on 8 September against Cork. Despite leading for the whole game Clare found themselves a point down after 72 minutes. O'Donovan scored his first ever championship point coming from corner back to send the match to a replay which Clare won.
In February 2016, O'Donovan announced that he had left the Clare senior hurling panel due to work commitments.[3]
O'Donovan attended NUI Galway.[4] There he studied civil engineering, previously having engineered for himself a total of 530 Leaving Certificate points.[5] His twin brother Cormac was a student of the same course at Galway as well.[5] Both were part of the university hurling team during their winning 2010 Fitzgibbon Cup campaign.[6]
