Career

Quealy first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with Roscrea and won a divisional minor title in 1974. He also lined out as a Gaelic footballer with Inane Rovers and won a Tipperary U21AFC title in 1977. As a student at University College Dublin Quealy was called-up to the college hurling team and won a Fitzgibbon Cup medal in 1979.[3] By this stage he had already joined the Roscrea senior team and won a Tipperary SHC title in 1980.[4] Quealy also won two North Tipperary SHC titles, including one as team captain.
