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.
