Meyler transferred to Cork in 1982 and made his championship debut for the Cork senior hurling team on 12 May 1983. He scored a point from centre-forward in a 3-11 to 2-14 Munster Championship semi-final draw with Limerick. Meyler retained his place on the team for the replay victory, however, he was dropped from the starting fifteen for the Munster final defeat of Waterford. In spite of this he was still presented with a winners' medal. Meyler was dropped from the Cork panel for the subsequent All-Ireland Championship.
