Selected for Galway v Tipperary (National League, 30 Oct 1960). He was named on Fohenagh's XV in the 1959 Galway SHC final replay vs Castlegar (Connacht Tribune, 19 Sep 1959)[1]. Started for Fohenagh in the 1963 Galway SHC final (Turloughmore GAA archive team sheet)[2]. The Connacht Tribune of 26 September 1959 called Jim Moclair and Frank Glynn, the Fohenagh pair, "highly satisfactory" in their first major engagement for Galway, in the semi-final against Cork[3].

A 1960 preview praised his consistency for club and county (Connacht Tribune, 20 February 1960, p.14)[8]. In 1968 he was still among Fohenagh's best backs (Connacht Tribune, 17 May 1968, p.39)[9].
