He was at right corner-back on the Kilruane MacDonaghs team that won the All-Ireland Club Championship title in 1986.[4][5]
At inter-county level, Cahill never played at minor or under-21 levels but was included on the Tipperary junior hurling team in 1983. He was called up to the senior team for the 1986 Munster SHC campaign.[6]
