After losing out in the provincial series for the next few seasons Cork were back in 1915. That year Kennedy picked up a second Munster title following an 8-2 to 2-1 trouncing of Clare. The subsequent All-Ireland final pitted Cork against Laois. It was their first ever meeting in the history of the championship, with Cork going into the game as the red-hot favourites. Cork led by 3-0 to 2-2 at half-time, however, a huge downpour stymied their style of play. With nine minutes left in the game John Carroll scored the winning goal for Laois. It was the second time that Kennedy had ended up on the losing side on All-Ireland final day.The GAA Book of Lists p. 341
