Brian Hogan (born 9 July 1996) is an Irish hurler who plays for North Tipperary club Lorrha and at inter-county level with the Tipperary senior hurling team. He usually lines out as a goalkeeper.
As a student at the Maynooth University, Hogan joined the senior hurling team during his second year. On 24 February 2018, he was selected at centre-back when Maynooth University faced Ulster University in the final of the Ryan Cup. Hogan scored 0-02 from frees and collected a winners' medal as captain following the 2-19 to 0-09 victory.[1]
After transferring to University College Dublin in 2018, Hogan immediately joined the senior hurling team. He lined out in goal for the university in their unsuccessful 2019 Fitzgibbon Cup campaign.[2]
Hogan joined the Lorrha–Dorrha club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels. On 11 November 2017, he was a North Tipperary U21 B Championship medal following a 1-04 to 0-06 defeat of Silvermines in the final.
Hogan first lined out for Tipperary as a member of the minor team during the 2013 Munster Championship. He made his first appearance for the team on 11 April 2013 when he lined out in goal in a 2-18 to 1-15 defeat of Waterford.[3]
Hogan was again eligible for the minor grade in 2014 and retained his position as first-choice goalkeeper. He made his final appearance for the minor team on 30 April 2014 in a 1-23 to 0-12 defeat by Clare.[4]
Hogan was still in his final year with the minor team when he was drafted onto the Tipperary under-21 panel. On 16 July 2014, he was sub-goalkeeper to Paul Maher when Tipperary suffered a 5-19 to 1-25 defeat by Clare in the Munster Championship.[5]
After spending a second successive season as sub-goalkeeper to Maher in 2015, Hogan took over as first-choice goalkeeper for the 2016 Munster Championship. He made his first appearance for the team on 14 July 2016 in a 2-12 to 1-13 defeat of Limerick.[6] On 27 July 2016, Hogan lined out in goal when Tipperary suffered a 2-19 to 0-15 defeat by Waterford in the Munster final.[7]
Hogan lined out in a fourth successive Munster Championship campaign with Tipperary in 2017. He played his last game in the grade on 22 June 2017 when Tipperary were defeated by Limerick by 2-24 to 0-19.[8]
Hogan joined the Tipperary intermediate team prior to the start of the 2016 Munster Championship. He made his first appearance for the team on 22 May 2016 in a 3-20 to 1-15 defeat of Cork.[9] Hogan was again in goal when Tipperary exited the championship on 19 June following a two-point defeat by Limerick.[10]
Hogan was one of two goalkeepers called into the 40-strong training panel by Tipperary senior team manager Michael Ryan at the start of the 2016 season.[11] On 10 July, he was a member of the extended training panel when Tipperary defeated Waterford by 5-19 to 0-13 to win the Munster Championship.[12] Hogan was again a member of the extended panel when Tipperary defeated Kilkenny by 2-29 to 2-20 in the All-Ireland final on 4 September 2016.[13]
Hogan was Tipperary's third-choice goalkeeper behind Darren Gleeson and Darragh Mooney as a member of the extended panel for the 2017 season. He made no appearances for the team in either the National League or the Championship.[citation needed]
On 11 March 2018, Hogan made his first appearance for the Tipperary senior team when he lined out in goal in a 1-24 to 1-21 defeat of Cork National League.[14] On 3 April 2018, Tipperary manager Michael Ryan announced that Darragh Mooney would be his first-choice goalkeeper "barring injury or a complete loss of form".[15] In spite of this, Hogan was still selected in goal for Tipperary's opening game in the Munster Championship - a 1-12 to 2-14 defeat by Limerick.[16] He lined out in goal in all three of Tipperary's subsequent Munster Championship games.[citation needed]
On 30 June 2019, Hogan lined out in goal in his first Munster final when Tipperary faced Limerick. He ended the game on the losing side after a 2-26 to 2-14 defeat.[17] On 18 August 2019, Hogan was again in goal when Tipperary qualified for the All-Ireland final against Kilkenny. He kept a clean sheet throughout and ended the game with a second winners' medal - his first on the field of play - after a 3-25 to 0-20 victory.[18] Hogan ended the season by being named in the goalkeeping position on the GAA/GPA All-Star Team.[19]
