Promotion to the Dublin junior team followed, however, he was deprived of a winners' medal in that grade by Fermanagh in 1959. Holden had been training with the Dublin senior team since October 1958 and made his debut in the National League against Roscommon in the autumn of 1959. He won back-to-back Leinster Championship medals in 1962 and 1963, and he was part of the team that won the 1963 All-Ireland final by defeating Galway.[2][3] Holden ended his career with a third provincial winners' medal in 1965, while he also won back-to-back Railway Cup medals with Leinster.
