Playing career

Club

Maher plays his club hurling with his local Burgess club and has enjoyed some success. He was a key member of the team when the club won the intermediate county title in 2005.

Inter-county

Maher first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Tipperary intermediate hurling team in the early 2000s. He enjoyed some success in this grade, culminating in the winning of a Munster title in 2002. Two years later in 2004 Maher was a member of the Tipp senior panel and made his debut against Offaly in the National Hurling League. He did not feature on the Tipperary panel in 2005 and 2006 but was recalled to the squad in 2007, making his championship debut against Dublin at left half-back in the 2007 qualifier series of games. That particualr season was an unhappy one for Tipp. A new manager in 2008 brought a change of fortune as Maher collected a National League title in 2008.
