At club level, Kennedy first played for Sarsfields at juvenile and underage levels. He progressed to the club's senior team as third-choice goalkeeper before becoming the first-choice goalkeeper in 2007.[1] Kennedy won his first Cork SHC medal in 2008 before claiming further winners' medals in 2010, when he was also team captain, 2012, 2014 and 2023.[2] He added a Munster Club SHC medal to his collection in 2024, having been a member of the extended panel.[3]
Kennedy first appeared on the inter-county scene for Cork as sub-goalkeeper on the minor team that beat Tipperary to win the Munster MHC title in 2004.[4] He earned a call-up to the Cork senior hurling team in 2009, at a time when the majority of the team's regular players were on strike. Kennedy lined out in a number of National Hurling League games before the strike ended.[5]
