Playing career

Club

Geary plays his club hurling with his local Monaleen club and has enjoyed some success. He also plays football with the club and has won a number of County Championship Medals with them.

Inter-county

Geary first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Limerick under-21 team. He won a Munster title at this level in 2000 before later collecting an All-Ireland medal following a victory over Galway. The following year Geary won a second set of Munster and All-Ireland under-21 honours, as LImerick completed the second leg of a three-in-a-row. By this stage he had already joined the county senior team, however, Limerick's hurling fortunes were about to take a dramatic downturn. Following the county's victory over spork in the Munster Championship in 2001 Limerick failed to win a game in the province until their 2007 Munster semi-final victory over Tipperary. This was achieved following a three-game saga, however, Geary's side later lost the Munster final to Waterford. Limerick later gained revenge by defeating 'the Decies' in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final, before being beaten by Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final.
