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]
In October 2010, Keenan was selected on the All Stars football team at midfield for his performances for Louth during the 2010 season. [2]
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 Tommy Murphy Cup [4] and 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]
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]
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]
He retired from inter-county football at the age of 29 in 2014. [12]
