John Holohan

John Holohan (11 November 1890 – 19 May 1947) was an Irish hurler who played as a full-back for the Kilkenny senior team.

A period of political instability in Ireland over the next decade led to the county championship either being delayed, unfinished or suspended.

Kilkenny, however, were not the force they once were, having won seven All-Ireland titles in the previous decade, and a 5-4 to 3-2 score line resulted in victory for Tipperary.

A 3-4 to 1-2 halted Dublin's march to a fourth successive provincial title, and gave Holohan a second Leinster medal.

On 9 September 1923 Kilkenny faced old rivals Tipperary in the All-Ireland decider in front of a crowd of over 26,000 at Croke Park.

Two late goals by Paddy Donoghue and Dick Tobin secured a 4-2 to 2-6 victory for Kilkenny and an All-Ireland medal for Holohan.

In May 1926 Holohan was selected on the panel for Kilkenny's final National Hurling League game against Limerick.
