[edit] Inter-county
Canty first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor hurling team in the early 2000s. He captured a Munster title in this grade in 2004, however, Cork were later defeated in the All-Ireland semi-final. Canty later progressed onto the county’s under-21 hurling panel and enjoyed more success. He captured a Munster title at this level in 2005, however, Cork later exited the championship following the All-Ireland semi-final. Two years late rin 2007 Canty captured a second Munster under-21 medal. He later played in his first All-Ireland final; however, Galway defeated ‘the Rebels’ on that occasion.
The 2008 National Hurling League saw Canty’s hurling performances impress the manager and the selectors. Because of this he earned his first start in the senior championship in the 2008 Munster semi-final against Tipperary. Cork lost that game and Canty failed to register a single score.
