[citation needed] Reidy was a member of the Kerry squad for the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship in 2005, starting at corner-back.
He played in the corner-back spot vacated by Tom O'Sullivan, who moved to full-back following the retirement of Mike McCarthy.
[citation needed] At a club level, Reidy was a member of the team which won the East Kerry Intermediate championship.
As a result, the club qualified for the East Kerry Senior Football Championship proper, reaching the semi-finals and almost beating Dr. Crokes in what was described as a "David and Goliath battle".
[10] At divisional level however, Reidy's St. Kieran's sides were knocked out in the second round of the Kerry Senior Football Championship by eventual champions Feale Rangers.
