He transferred briefly to the St Finbarr's club and won an All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1980. He also lined out with the Seandún divisional side as both a hurler and Gaelic footballer. Meade first appeared on the inter-county scene on Cork's 1966 All-Ireland Minor Championship-winning team. He later won successive All-Ireland Under-21 Championship titles, with his scoring tally of 1–12 in the 1968 All-Ireland under-21 final remaining an all-time record. Meade was drafted onto the Cork senior hurling team during their successful 1968-69 National League campaign.
