Career
Conneely first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with St Rynagh's. He won an Offaly MHC medal in 1982, before progressing to the club's senior team.[1] Conneely won four offaly SHC medals between 1987 and 1993, before subsequently converting the final victory into a Leinster Club SHC medal, following a one-point win over Dicksboro.[2]
At inter-county level, Conneely made his first appearance for Offaly during a two-year tenure with the minor team in 1982 and 1983. A subsequent three-year stint with the under-21 team also ended without silverware. Conneely made his senior team debut in 1987 and went on to make a number of league and championship appearances over the following few seasons. He was an unused substitute when Offaly beat Limerick in the 1994 All-Ireland final.[3][4]
