Riordan began his hurling career at club level with Blackrock. He broke onto the club's top adult team in 1898, a year in which he won his first Cork Championship title. Riordan won a further six championship titles with Blackrock.

At inter-county level, Riordan joined the Cork senior team in 1902. From his debut, he was ever-present as a half-forward and made 21 Championship appearances in a career that ended with his last game in 1908. During that time he was part of two All-Ireland Championship-winning teams – in 1902 and 1903 as captain. Riordan was also involved in four of Cork's Munster Championship-winning teams.[1][2]

gollark: Probably perception of coolness is partly grounded in social status (or something like that) of the thing, and harder to obtain (e.g. expensive) things have more of that.
gollark: Modded clients don't actually let you read the *messages*, so I'm sure they're technically able to make it work sensibly.
