Promotion to the senior side followed, with both Quaid brothers heavily involved as Limerick surprised Clare to win the 1955 Munster Championship.
Quaid continued playing for Limerick until the 1960s, by which time he had also won three Railway Cup medals with Munster.
[citation needed] The Quaid surname has been synonymous with Limerick hurling for nearly 70 years.
Jack Quaid's son, Tommy, was also a Munster Championship-winner as goalkeeper with the Limerick team between 1976 and 1993.
His nephew, Joe Quaid, immediately took over as goalkeeper and also won Munster Championship medals in a decade-long career.
