    Lyons joined the Monaleen club at a young age and played in all grades at juvenile and underage levels before joining the club's top adult team. On 9 October 2016, he won a Premier Intermediate Championship medal following a 1-17 to 2-11 defeat of Cappamore in the final.

    Lyons first played for the Limerick minor hurling team at the age of seventeen. On 23 July 2013, he came on as a substitute in the 53rd minute when Limerick won their first Munster Championship title in 29 years after a 1-20 to 4-08 defeat of Waterford in a replay of the final.[4]

    Lyons was eligible for the minor grade again the following year and won a second successive Munster Championship medal after a 0-24 to 0-18 second successive defeat of Waterford in a replay of the final.[5] On 7 September 2014, Lyons was at left corner-back for Limerick's 2-17 to 0-19 defeat by Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final.[6]
