Due to his profession as a Garda, Queally was stationed in Cork City for a number of years. Because of this, Queally also had a stint playing for Sarsfields GAA of Glanmire in the Cork Senior Hurling Championship in the late 1990s.

Queally retired from inter-county hurling in 2003.[1] In 2008 Queally returned to the inter-county setup in the role of selector,[1] alongside Davy Fitzgerald and Maurice Geary. With Queally on board, Waterford managed to reach their first All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final since 1963. Sadly, it wasn't to be a fairy tale ending, with Waterford losing out to Kilkenny in the final. Peter also played inter-county with Waterford Football and won an All-Ireland Junior Football Medal
