A defender, he played for the Clare senior inter-county team that reached the All-Ireland final in 1932.
Once again, Cork, a team that had defeated McInerney's side on many occasions, provided the opposition.

In a low-scoring but tense game, Clare’s Tull Considine scored two goals and was foiled for what would almost certainly have been a third.
These goals were negated by Kilkenny’s three goal-scoring heroes Matty Power, Martin White and Lory Meagher.
