He was at full-back on the Kilruane MacDonaghs team that won the All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1986.[4][5]

At inter-county level, O'Meara was a member of the Tipperary under-21 hurling team in his final year of eligibility in 1973. He first played with the senior team during their successful 1978-79 National League campaign. O'Meara was also included on Tipperary's championship panels in 1979 and 1986.[6] Sheppard was a non-playing substitute when Tipperary beat Cork in the 1987 Munster final replay.
