Career
Kavanagh first played hurling to a high standard as a student at Coláiste Naomh Cormac. He was part of the school team that beat Hamilton High School to claim the All-Ireland PPS SBHC title in 2023.[1] Kavangh's performances for the school resulted in his inclusion on the combined Offaly Schools team which also won the Leinster PPS SAHC in 2023.[2]
After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Kilcormac–Killoughey club, Kavangh made his senior team debut in 2023. He ended the season with an Offaly SHC medal.[3]
Kavangh first appeared on the inter-county scene during a two-year tenure with the Offaly minor hurling team. His last game in the grade was a defeat by Tipperary in the 2022 All-Ireland minor final.[4] Kavangh immediately progressed to the under-20 team that lost the 2023 All-Ireland under-20 final to Cork.[5] He collected a winners' medal in that competition the following year after beating Tipperary by 2–20 to 2–14 in the All-Ireland final.[6]
Kavangh earned a call-up to the senior team's extended panel for the defeat of Laois in the 2024 Joe McDonagh Cup final.[7]
