[edit]

Davitt played hurling at all levels as a student at Cashel CBS, and won a Croke Cup title as vice-captain of the team in 1962 after a 5-02 to 5-00 win over Templmore CBS in the final.[1]

Davitt began his club career with Cashel King Cormacs at juvenile and underage levels, before progressing to adult level. He won his first West Tipperary SHC medal in 1965 following a 2-18 to 4-03 win over Knockavilla Kickhams.[2] Davitt claimed a second divisional winners' medal in 1971.[3]

At inter-county level, Davitt first played for Tipperary during a two-year tenure with the under-21 team. He won an All-Ireland U21HC medal after lining out at midfield in the 1-08 to 1-07 win over Dublin in the 1967 All-Ireland under-21 final.[4] Davitt was also a member of the senior team that year.[5]
