Career
[edit]Born and raised in Ogonnelloe, County Clare, Stuart first played hurling with the Ogonnelloe club. He progressed to inter-county level with Clare and won an All-Ireland JHC medal in 1914.[2]

He won three consecutive Fitzgibbon Cup medals with UCD between 1915 and 1917. Stuart later lined out with the Collegians, a team composed of medical and veterinary students, and won Dublin SHC medals in 1917, 1918 and 1919.[3]
Collegians were the Dublin representatives at inter-county level following each of those title wins. Stuart won a Leinster SHC title as a centre-back, before beating Tipperary by 5–04 to 4–02 in the 1917 All-Ireland SHC final.[4] Two years later, he captained the team to another Leinster SHC title, however, Dublin were later beaten by Cork in the 1919 All-Ireland SHC final.[5][6]
