Playing career
Club
After enjoying championship success in the under-21 grade with Na Piarsaigh, Mullins quickly joined the senior team. After losing the 1987 championship decider to Midleton, the club qualified for the final again in 1990. Southside kingpins St. Finbarr's provided the opposition, however, the game ended level. The replay was also a close affair, however, a narrow 2-7 to 1-8 victory gave Mullins a coveted championship medal.
