Career

Kennedy first played hurling at juvenile and underage levels with the Toomevara club, winning numerous championship titles from under-12 up to under-21 level. He progressed to senior level and was part of the Toomevera team that won successive Tipperary SHC titles in 1993 and 1994. [2] Kennedy also claimed a Munster Club SHC title before later losing the 1994 All-Ireland Club SHC final to Sarsfields. [3] He won a third and final Tipperary SHC medal in 1998. [4]

At inter-county level, Kennedy first appeared for Tipperary during a two-year tenure with the minor team. Performances at club level earned a call-up to the senior team in 1996. [5]
