Biography

Playing career
Club
Ollie plays his club hurling with Ahane, the club made famous by the legendary Mick Mackey. He enjoyed much success at under-age level and was later part of 3 different senior teams that won the Limerick County Championship. Moran received his first senior championship medal in 1998 when Ahane beat Patrickswell by 1-11 to 0-9. He wasn't long waiting for a second county medal as Ahane were in the final the following year, this time against Kilmallock whom they drew with in the first final, 0-12 to 2-6. However, Ahane were crowned champions after the game was replayed at the Gaelic Grounds in Limerick. They won the game by a scoreline of 0-14 to 2-5. Ollie played at centre-back and picked up the man of the match award for a great performance which saw him score 3 points in total.[8] Ahane were back in the county final in 2002, however they lost on this occasion to Adare by 0-14 to 0-12. Ollie picked up his third county medal in 2004 when Ahane beat Garryspillane in the final. Ollie's brother, Niall, was the hero on this occasion after he scored a 58-yard free deep into injury time to put their team ahead by a single point and win by 1-11 to 0-13.[9] The most recent county final that Ollie featured in was the 2008 final against Adare who once again defeated them, this time by a scoreline of 0-13 to 0-8.[10] Despite having won numerous county titles, Ollie and the Ahane club have never been successful in the Munster Club Championship and hence have never progressed to the All-Ireland Club Championship.
Colleges
Ollie attended Waterford Regional Technical College (WRTC), now known as Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT), between the years of 1994 and 2003. Here, his hurling skills came to the fore. In 1994, his first year playing for WRTC, he won an All-Ireland Freshers Hurling title as well as featuring in the Fitzgibbon Cup team that lost in extra time of the final to UL by 2-11 to 1-11.[11] The following year, WRTC were back in the Fitzgibbon Cup final, this time against UCD whom they beat by 3-15 to 1-4.[12] Ollie featured as a substitute on this team. Ollie didn't play in another Fitzgibbon Cup final until 2003, when WIT beat Cork IT by 0-13 to 0-7, earning him his second medal. This time he gave brilliant performance at midfield and managed to score a point early on in the game.[13]
