In 2006 Nemo retained their county title with Masters securing a second county championship medal. The club made it three-in-a-row in 2007 before claiming the Munster club title also. It was Masters's third winners' medal in the provincial series. The subsequent All-Ireland club final pitted Nemo against St. Vincent's

In 2008 Nemo and Masters made it four county championship titles in-a-row.

Inter-county

Masters first came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor football team in 2000. That year, as captain of the team, he won a Munster

 minor winners' medal that day but he also had the honour of collecting the cup on behalf of his county.

By 2001 Masters was too old to play in the minor grade, however, he was an automatic choice for the Cork under-21 team. That year he won a Munster

. Cork were subsequently defeated in the All-Ireland semi-final. Masters enjoyed no further success with the county under-21 footballers.

In 2005 Masters became a full member of the Cork senior football team. That year he lined out in his first Munster final. Reigning All-Ireland champions Kerry provided the opposition on that occasion, however, Cork were beaten by 1-11 to 0-11. Cork remained in the championship following this defeat, however, both Cork and Kerry later met again in the All-Ireland semi-final. That game turned into an absolute rout. Kerry won easily by 1-19 to 0-9.

In 2006 Cork lined out against Kerry in the Munster final once again. That game ended in a 0-10 apiece draw. The replay saw a much fresher Cork team defeat Kerry by 1-12 to 0-9. Masters proved the hero of the day, as he scored 1-7. The quirks of the championship saw Cork face Kerry again in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final. In a similar pattern to previous encounters Cork failed to beat Kerry at Croke Park

. A 0-16 to 0-10 resulted in Masters's side being defeated.

In 2007 Cork narrowly lost their Munster crown to Kerry. In spite of the 1-15 to 1-13 defeat Cork still had another chance to claim the All-Ireland title. Cork later did well in the All-Ireland series and finally qualified for the championship decider. Kerry, however, were the opponents. While the first-half was played on an even keel, 'the Kingdom' ran riot in the second-half and a rout ensued. At the full-time whistle Cork were trounced by 3-13 to 1-9.

In 2008 Cork gained a modicum of revenge on Kerry when sides met in the Munster final. Kerry were cruising by eight points at the interval, however, Cork stormed back in the second-half. Kerry could only muster three points as Cork secured a 1-16 to 1-11 victory. It was Masters's second Munster winners' medal. Both sides met again in the All-Ireland semi-final, however, after a thrilling draw and a replay Kerry were the team that advanced to the championship decider.

In 2009 Cork defeated Kerry in a replay of the provincial semi-final, thus securing a place for Masters's side in a fifth consecutive Munster final. Limerick

 provided the opposition on that occasion and, while many expected the game to be a foregone conclusion, Cork had to fight tooth-and-nail for every ball. For a while it looked as if Limerick would claim an historic victory, however, at the full-time whistle Cork got out of jail and won by just a single point. It was Masters's third Munster Senior Football Championship

 winners' medal.

Masters decided to withdraw from the Cork panel in March 2010 citing his lack of game time as the reason. Masters had become a more peripheral figure in the Cork set up throughout 2009 with the emergence of younger players such as Colm O'Neill reducing him to the role of a substitute.
