## Playing career

### St Kieran's College

During his schooling at [St Kieran's College](/source/St_Kieran's_College) in Kilkenny, Buckley established himself as a key member of the senior hurling team. In 2010 he won his first [Leinster](/source/Leinster_Colleges_Senior_Hurling_Championship) medal following a 3–13 to 1–11 defeat of Dublin Colleges.[1] On 3 April 2010, St Kieran's faced [Ardscoil Rís](/source/Ardscoil_R%C3%ADs%2C_Limerick) in the All-Ireland decider. Buckley's side trailed by five points as the game entered the final quarter; however, St Kieran's staged a magnificent comeback, hitting 1–5 without reply, including a [Michael Brennan](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Michael_Brennan_(hurler)&action=edit&redlink=1) goal in the 51st minute, to claim a 2–11 to 2–8 victory.[2] It was Buckley's first [All-Ireland](/source/Dr_Croke_Cup) medal.

Buckley added a second successive Leinster medal to his collection in 2011, as St Kieran's recorded a 3–7 to 0–7 victory over Castlecomer Community School.[3] On 2 April 2011, St Kieran's renewed their rivalry with Ardscoil Rís in the All-Ireland final. A [Thomas O'Hanrahan](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thomas_O%27Hanrahan&action=edit&redlink=1) goal deep into stoppage time secured a 2–10 to 1–11 victory for St Kieran's and a second All-Ireland medal for Buckley.[4]

### Dicksboro

After experiencing championship success in the minor and under-21 grades, Buckley subsequently joined Dicksboro's top team. In 2011 Dicksboro faced [Mullinavat](/source/Mullinavat_GAA) in the intermediate championship decider. "The Boro" had the better of the first half and led at the interval by six points. Mullinavat, despite dominating most of the second half, could not turn their possession into enough scores and Dicksboro held out to take a 2–12 to 2–11 victory, with Buckley collecting a [championship](/source/Kilkenny_Intermediate_Hurling_Championship) medal.[5]

### Kilkenny

#### Minor and under-21

Buckley first played for Kilkenny in 2009 when he joined the minor side. He won his first [Leinster](/source/Leinster_Minor_Hurling_Championship) medal that year following Kilkenny's 1–19 to 0–11 trouncing of [Wexford](/source/Wexford_GAA) in the provincial decider. [Galway](/source/Galway_GAA) provided the opposition in the subsequent All-Ireland MHC decider on 6 September 2009. A devastating second quarter display was pivotal in powering the Westerners to a 2–15 to 2–11 victory.[6]

In 2010, Buckley was appointed [captain](/source/Captain_(Gaelic_games)) of the Kilkenny minor team. He won a second Leinster MHC medal that year following a 1–20 to 0–10 trouncing of [Dublin](/source/Dublin_GAA).[7] The subsequent All-Ireland MHC decider on 5 September 2010 pitted Kilkenny against [Clare](/source/Clare_GAA). "The Cats" were made to work hard before securing a narrow 2–10 to 0–14 victory, giving Buckley an [All-Ireland Minor Hurling Championship](/source/All-Ireland_Minor_Hurling_Championship) medal and the honour of lifting the cup as captain.[8]

Two years later Buckley was a key member of the Kilkenny under-21 team. He won his sole [Leinster](/source/Leinster_Under-21_Hurling_Championship) medal that year following a 4–24 to 1–13 trouncing of [Laois](/source/Laois_GAA).[9] Kilkenny later faced [Clare](/source/Clare_GAA) in the [All-Ireland](/source/All-Ireland_Under-21_Hurling_Championship) decider on 15 September 2012. A powerful second-half display, in which they outscored Kilkenny by 1–10 to 0–4, saw Clare take their second ever All-Ireland title in the grade.[10]

#### Senior

Buckley made his senior debut for Kilkenny on 12 February 2012 in the final of the pre-season [Walsh Cup](/source/Walsh_Cup_(hurling)). He came on as a substitute as Kilkenny defeated [Galway](/source/Galway_county_hurling_team) to take the title by 2–20 to 1–14.[11] Buckley was a regular during the subsequent league campaign, which eventually saw Kilkenny facing old rival [Cork](/source/Cork_county_hurling_team) in the decider. A huge 3–21 to 0–16 victory gave him a first [National Hurling League](/source/National_Hurling_League) medal.[12] Kilkenny were later shocked by Galway in the [Leinster Senior Hurling Championship](/source/Leinster_Senior_Hurling_Championship) (SHC) decider, losing by 2–21 to 2–11; however, both sides subsequently met in the All-Ireland SHC decider on 9 September 2012.[13] Kilkenny had led going into the final stretch; however, [Joe Canning](/source/Joe_Canning) struck a stoppage time equaliser to level the game at 2–13 to 0–19 and send the final to a replay for the first time since [1959](/source/1959_All-Ireland_Senior_Hurling_Championship_final).[14] The replay took place three weeks later on 30 September 2012. Galway stunned the reigning champions with two first-half goals; however, Kilkenny's championship debutant [Walter Walsh](/source/Walter_Walsh_(hurler)) gave a man of the match performance, claiming a 1–3 haul. The 3–22 to 3–11 Kilkenny victory gave Buckley a first [All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship](/source/All-Ireland_Senior_Hurling_Championship) (SHC) medal.[15]

Kilkenny's dominance showed no sign of abating in 2013, with Buckley winning a second successive league medal following a 2–17 to 0–20 defeat of [Tipperary](/source/Tipperary_county_hurling_team) in the decider.[16]

In 2014 Buckley collected his third successive league medal, as Kilkenny secured a narrow one-point 2–25 to 1–27 extra-time victory over Tipperary.[17] Buckley subsequently secured his first Leinster SHC medal, as a dominant Kilkenny display gave "The Cats" a 0–14 to 1–9 defeat of [Dublin](/source/Dublin_county_hurling_team).[18] On 7 September 2014, Kilkenny faced Tipperary in the All-Ireland SHC decider. In what some consider to be the greatest game of all time, the sides were level when Tipperary were awarded a controversial free. [John O'Dwyer](/source/John_O'Dwyer) had the chance to win the game; however, his late free drifted wide resulting in a draw.[19] The replay on 27 September 2014 was also a close affair. Goals from brothers [Richie](/source/Richie_Power_(hurler_born_1985)) and [John Power](/source/John_Power_(Carrickshock_hurler)) inspired Kilkenny to a 2–17 to 2–14 victory.[20] It was Buckley's second All-Ireland SHC medal, while he was later presented with an [All-Star](/source/GAA_GPA_All_Stars_Awards).

Buckley won a second successive Leinster SHC medal in 2015 following a 1–25 to 2–15 defeat of Galway in the provincial decider.[21] Kilkenny subsequently defeated Galway in the All-Ireland SHC final, earning Buckley his third Celtic Cross.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

In August 2024, Buckley announced his retirement from inter-county hurling.[22]
