Born in Urlingford, County Kilkenny, Burke first played competitive hurling during his schooling at Johnstown Vocational School. He arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team, before later joining the under-21 and junior sides. He made his senior debut during the 1984-85 National Hurling League. Burke enjoyed a five-year career with Kilkenny before later joining the Wexford senior team.[2][3] He won one Leinster medal and one National Hurling League medal as a non-playing substitute.
