Noel played with Seneschalstown GFC at both juvenile and adult level. He was one of the many volunteers who spent endless hours helping build the Seneschalstown GFC Clubhouse. After retiring from the game he took up umpiring duties for his good friend Tommy 'Pop' Collins for 20 years from the mid 70's up to the mid 90's and officiated throughout Meath and Leinster at club and county fixtures including Pairc Tailteann and Croke Park. 

Up until a couple of years ago Noel was still volunteering as a steward in bothe Seneschalstown and Pairc Tailteann. In later years he got the greatest pleasure from attending Seneschalstown juvenile games to watch his grandsons Daryl, Barry and Keith playing. Noel was Honorary Club President and that was something which gave him great pride.
