He helped Tulla win the Senior B title in 2010 with victory over Inagh-Kilnamona. [1][2] McInerney made his Senior Championship debut on 2 June 2013 against Waterford, starting at full-back in a 2-20 to 1-15 victory.

In three consecutive appearances for Clare at both u21 and senior level David managed a hat trick of man of the match performances.
