Career

McGarry first came to sporting prominence as a hurler. A member of the Treaty Sarsfields club, he also represented CBS Sexton Street in the Harty Cup while also enjoying a two-year spell with the Limerick minor hurling team. McGarry made his senior debut in 1956, however, his seven-year career coincided with a barren spell for Limerick.[1] In spite of this he earned selection on the Munster team and won five Railway Cup medals in a six-year period.[2] McGarry also played rugby and association football at a high level. Playing in the centre, he captained Young Munster when they played Garryowen in the 1970-71 Munster Senior Cup final. McGarry also played League of Ireland soccer with Limerick F.C. and Cork Celtic.[3]
