At club level, Tuohy first played for Clarecastle at juvenile and underage levels. He won consecutive Clare MAHC titles and a Clare U21AHC medal before progressing to adult level.[4][5] Tuohy was in his final year of the minor grade when he won the first of four Clare SHC medals. He ended his club career by winning a Munster Club SHC medal after a 2-11 to 0-15 defeat of Patrickswell.[6]
