He made his debut against Donegal in the National Football League and was sub goalkeeper to Kevin O'Dwyer for the subsequent championship.
Both sides met again in the All-Ireland semi-final, however, after a thrilling draw and a replay Kerry were the team that advanced to the championship decider.
The Kerry team stuck to their gameplan, helped in no small part by a Cork side that recorded fourteen wides.
A defeat by Kerry in a replay of the provincial semi-final resulted in Quirke's side being exiled to the back door.
After negotiating their way through a difficult series of games, Cork defeated Dublin to qualify for their third All-Ireland final in four years.
