Two years later he made his debut for Limerick and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1929 championship.
At club level Humphreys played with Monagea, De La Salle and Newcastle West, winning a county championship medals with the latter two teams.
Hough was educated locally and later attended the De La Salle College in Waterford where he qualified as a national school teacher.
During his studies in Waterford he played with the De La Salle club and enjoyed some success.
Clare provided the opposition on that occasion, however, Hough’s side were the better team on the day.
The final score of 11-3 to 1-2 tells its own story as Hough collected his first Munster title.
The first-half saw Hough’s side go on a goal-scoring spree as Limerick took a half-time lead of 5-4 to 0-2.
The goals continued in the second-half as Limerick won the game by 9-5 to 1-3, giving Hough his first All-Ireland medal.
Because of this only Cork and Limerick participated with both sides contesting the provincial final for the third consecutive year.
Hough’s side avenged the defeats of the previous two years by beating Cork by 5-2 to 1-2.
In retirement Hough took up refereeing and distinguished himself in National Hurling League and Munster championship games.
