Kevin O'Reilly is Hurling player for Dublin Senior Team and Lucan Sarsfields. Kevin "Chap" Reilly as he is known as both on and off the pitch by his peers, was named on the 2007 3rd Level All-Star XV for DIT due to his performance in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[1] O'Reilly was named on the Dublin Blue Stars team for 2006 as a substitute.

Kevin won a Leinster Minor Hurling Championship medal for Dublin in 2005, with a five point win over Wexford. He finished the game with a total of three frees and one point from play.[2] During the same year O'Reilly won the Dublin Minor Hurling Championship with Lucan Sarsfields against Ballyboden St Endas. O'Reilly scored a total of 0-7 in the game.[3]

In the 2007 National Hurling League, Kevin O'Reilly is currently (after four games) the highest scoring player on the Dublin Hurling Team with 1-19 (1-0 pen, 0-12f, 0-2 sline, 0-1 '65').[4] Due to an injury sustained during the 2007 NFL, it was announced that O'Reilly would not be taking part in any senior hurling games for Dublin in the championship. The injury sustained was a cruciate ligament tear. He returned in for the first round of the championship in 2008 and played a major role in lucan narrowly defeating their opponents by a point. Reilly scored 1 -11 in that game[5]
