Paddy Keenan is a retired Gaelic footballer from County Louth, Ireland. He played for the Louth senior inter-county football team and for his club St Patrick's of Lordship.
Keenan is a graduate of DCU where he obtained an MSC in Business Management and played for DCU in the 2008 Sigerson Cup.[1]
All Star
In October 2010, Keenan was selected on the All Stars football team at midfield for his performances for Louth during the 2010 season.[2]
2010 Leinster Football Championship Final
He played and scored a point in the 2010 Leinster Football Final defeat to Meath where Louth appeared to be on their way to a first title since 1957, before losing to a late goal.[3]
He helped Louth to win both the Tommy Murphy Cup[4] and the National League Division 2 titles in 2006.[5]
Keenan is Louth's first ever All Star winner since the scheme began in 1971, meaning only Carlow and Longford have never won an All Star in either code.[6] Keenan captained the side that won Louth the NFL Division 3 title in 2011.[7]
Leinster and Ireland
Paddy represented his Province - Leinster - in the Railway Cup.[8] In 2010 he also represented Ireland in the International Rules Series against Australia, participating in both Test matches.[9]
St Patrick's
At club level he has won seven Louth Senior Football Championship titles with St. Patrick's.[10] He captained 'The Pats' in 2007, winning a third Louth SFC title by beating local rivals Cooley Kickhams.[11]
