He won three successive Leinster MHC medals before captaining the team to a 2–7 to 2–3 defeat of Tipperary in the 1954 All-Ireland MHC final.[4] At adult level, Boothman played with the Warwickshire team beaten by Cork in the 1955 All-Ireland JHC final.[5][6]
After returning to Ireland, Boothman made his Dublin senior hurling team debut in 1956 and quickly became a regular.
