During his inter-county career he won two All-Ireland medals and three Leinster medals. Finlay was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.^[1]^[2]

At club level Finlay won several county club championship medals with Ballygeehan.

His brother, Jack Finlay, was also an All-Ireland medalist with Laois.
