Career
Kerry defeated Tipperary Gaelic Athletic Association in the quarter-final of the Munster Junior Football Championship. They then overcame Limerick Gaelic Athletic Association in a replay to reach the final, with Reidy part of what was considered a very solid full-back line. The Scartaglin man made his National Football League debut in 2005, against Mayo.
He first broke through not the Kerry championship team in 2007, with a debut against Waterford in the Munster Senior Football Championship on June 3.
He played in the corner-back spot vacated by Tom O"Suullivan, who moved to full-back following the retirement of Mike McCarthy. Despite his inexperience nad early difficulties, Reidy settled well and is recognised as a talented young back who blossomed during the Championship.
He gave fine performances against Mark Vaughan of Dublin Gaelic Athletic Association and James Masters of Cork in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship semi-final and final. As a result, the club qualified for the East Kerry Senior Football Championship proper, surprisingly reaching the semi-finals and almost beating the powerful Doctor Crokes in what was described as a "David and Goliath battle".
At divisional level however, Reidy"s Saint Kieran"s sides were knocked out in the second round of the Kerry Senior Football Championship by eventual champions Feale Rangers.
In 2008, Reidy has so far retained his number four jersey and is one of the starting corner-backs for Kerry in the National Football League.
