Although the versatile Portlaoise clubman has gone on to play at the highest level with club and county, he has also been a little unlucky from time to time in his career.
Even on that great day in 2003, as he watched his clubmate Ian Fitzgerald lift the Delaney Cup, Kevin must have felt a pang of regret at his first half dismissal which ruled him out of the subsequent All-Ireland quarter final against Armagh. He was sorely missed on that day.
Injuries haven’t been kind to Kevin either and he missed a lot of football with a long-standing groin problem. Fitzy has won Laois Senior Football Championship medals with Portlaoise in 1999, 2002, 2004, 2007, 2008 (as captain), 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 and was chosen as Laois captain in 2005 in the absence of Colm Parkinson.
In late 2006, Kevin was recalled to the Laois senior squad under the new manager Liam Kearns.
