Playing career

Club

Queally plays his club hurling with his local club Newtown-Ballydurn GAA in Waterford.[2] The club presently participates at Junior level. Due to his profession as a Garda, Queally was stationed in Cork City for a number of years. Because of this, Queally also had a stint playing for Sarsfields GAA of Glanmire in the Cork Senior Hurling Championship in the late 1990s. He now manages Passage East Hurling Club and led them to their first Senior County Final but losing the Munster Semi-Final to Na Piarsigh by 2 points in The Gealic Grounds

Inter-county

Queally had a long playing career with the Waterford Senior Hurling Team from the early 1990s up to 2003.[1] During his playing career, Queally played in several Munster Senior Hurling Finals, winning the Munster Championship in 2002. Queally retired from inter-county hurling in 2003.[1] In 2008 Queally returned to the inter-county setup in the role of selector,[1] alongside Davy Fitzgerald and Maurice Geary. With Queally on board, Waterford managed to reach their first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final since 1963. Sadly, it wasn't to be a fairy tale ending, with Waterford losing out to Kilkenny in the final. Peter also played inter-county with Waterford Football and won an All-Ireland Junior Football Medal
