Career

O'Meara first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Toomevara club, winning numerous championship titles from under-12 up to under-21 level. He later won three successive Tipperary SHC medals from 1992 to 1994. [1] The second of these victories was later converted into a Munster Club SHC title, before later losing the 1994 All-Ireland club final to Sarsfields. [2] [3]

Success at underage level with his club resulted in O'Meara being called up to the Tipperary minor team. He captained the team during the 1988 Munster MHC. He later lined out with the under-21 team. O'Meara was a member of the extended senior team during Tipperary's Munster SHC-winning campaign in 1993. [4]
