Career
Considine first played hurling in his local area with the Ennis Dalcassians club. During a successful period for the club, he was part of the Clare SHC-winning teams in 1911, 1914 and 1915. His other club honours include three Clare SFC medals. By that stage, Considine was already playing for the Clare senior hurling team, having made his debut in 1904. He won a Munster SHC medal in 1914, before later lining out at corner-back in Clare's defeat of Laois in the 1914 All-Ireland final.[2][3] McGrath continued to play for Clare until 1916.
