He then showed great pace to put Laois in front.
And later on in the half when Laois played the ball into the full-forward line, Kingston held his run until the right opening presented itself and slotted it over the bar.
Kildare eventually got on top in the second half and moved into a 0-13 to 0-11 lead with 20 minutes to go but once more, Kingston showed playmaking abilities out the field to get his side back on track.
Picking up the ball in the centre-forward position, he beat three Kildare defenders before laying the ball off, and then kicked the resulting free.
A lot of GAA fans like to see their biggest forward not only picked at the edge of the square, but also to actually play there, and it seems All-Ireland-winning manager Eugene McGee is one of those people.
In his column in today's Irish Independent, McGee says that failing to move Kingston into full-forward as the game progressed was a 'monumental error'.
McGee points to the success Kieran Donaghy had towards the end of last season as a reason why Kingston should have played as selected but given the Laois man's contribution to the game, it is a bit unfair to completely slam the decision of manager Tomás Ó Flatharta.
But the debate is an interesting one nonetheless, as Donaghy has also been used at midfield in the past. Hell, Michael Murphy even loitered around the half-back line during patches of Jim McGuinness' tenure.
