Career

Screeney first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Coláiste Naomh Cormac. He scored 2-13 when the school team beat Hamilton High School to claim the All-Ireland PPS SBHC title in 2023.[1] Screeney's performances for the school resulted in his inclusion on the combined Offaly Schools team which also won the Leinster PPS SAHC in 2023.[2] He has also lined out for the University of Limerick.[3]

After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Kilcormac–Killoughey club, Screeney made his senior team debut in 2023. He ended the season with an Offaly SHC medal, while he was also the team's top scorer at county and provincial levels with 2-56.[4] Screeney first appeared on the inter-county scene during a two-year tenure with the Offaly minor hurling team. His last game in the grade was a defeat by Tipperary in the 2022 All-Ireland minor final.[5] Screeney immediately progressed to the under-20 team in 2023 and was the overall top scorer with 2-59, however, Offaly lost the 2023 All-Ireland under-20 final to Cork.[6] He was again the top scorer in 2024 and collected a winners' medal after beating Tipperary by 2-20 to 2-14 in the All-Ireland final.[7]

Screeney made his senior team debut during the 2024 National Hurling League.[8] He won a Joe McDonagh Cup medal in his debut season after a defeat of Laois in the final.[9]
