He won a Limerick MAHC medal in 1983 before claiming a Limerick MAFC medal the following year.[2] Reale progressed to adult level, also as a dual player, and won a Limerick JAFC medal in 1987 after a 2-07 to 1-03 win over St Patrick's.[3] He won a Limerick IHC medal two years later after a defeat of Old Christians in the final.[4]
At inter-county level, Reale first played for Limerick as part of the minor team that beat Kilkenny to win the All-Ireland MHC title in 1984.[5] He progressed to the under-21 team and won consecutive Munster U21HC titles, before claiming an All-Ireland U21HC medal after a 2-15 to 3-06 win over Galway in the 1987 final.[6]
