Club football

In 2006, Quirke won the Kerry Junior Football Championship with Duagh.[1] The team went on to emerge from Munster with Quirke playing a key part as they qualified for the All-Ireland Junior Club Football Championship final in 2007.[1] However, Greencastle GAA defeated them by one point in the final.[2][3]

Quirke went on to win that year's Kerry Senior Football Championship with Feale Rangers as they beat South Kerry by a point in the final.[4]

In 2012 he captained Duagh to a first North Kerry Championship title in 50 years.

Inter-county football

Quirke played minor with Kerry and was a sub with the Under 21 team.[citation needed] It was with the county junior team he was first noticed when he won a Munster championship in 2008 and later lost the All Ireland semi final.[citation needed] After a few years away from the team, he was back in 2012 and won a second Munster title and later an All Ireland title.[citation needed]

He was a member for the Kerry senior panel in 2008 and 2009, playing 5 league games in 2009 and winning a medal as a member of the panel that beat Derry in the final. He also won an All Ireland title later on as a member of the panel.[citation needed]
