Mark O'Riordan (born 1980 in Croom, County Limerick) is an Irish sportsperson. He plays hurling with his local club Croom and with the Limerick senior inter-county team.
[edit] Playing career
O'Riordan plays his club hurling with his local Croom club and has enjoyed some success.
[edit] Inter-county
O'Riordan first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Limerick under-21 team. He won a Munster title at this level in 2000 before later collecting an All-Ireland medal following a victory over Galway. The following year O'Riordan won a second set of Munster and All-Ireland under-21 honours, as Limerick completed the second leg of a three-in-a-row. By this stage he had already joined the county senior team, however, Limerick's hurling fortunes were about to take a dramatic downturn. Following the county's victory over Cork in the Munster Championship in 2001 Limerick failed to win a game in the province until their 2007 Munster semi-final victory over Tipperary. This was achieved following a three-game saga, however, O'Riordanside later lost the Munster final to Waterford. Limerick later gained revenge by defeating 'the Decies' in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final, setting up an All-Ireland final meeting with Kilkenny on 2 September 2007.
