Born in Gort, County Galway, Lally first played competitive hurling in his youth. He was a key member of the Gort Community School senior team. At club level he is a two-time championship medallist with Gort.[1][2]

Lally made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Galway minor team who won the 2005 All Ireland. An All-Ireland runner-up in this grade in 2006, he later joined the under-21 side.[3] Lally made his senior championship debut during the 2015 championship.

On 3 September 2017, Lally was a substitute for Galway as they won their first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship in 29 years against Waterford.[4][5]
