Keenan’s class lifts Louth
Neither team did anything to quell the widely-held opinion that both have a fight on their hands to avoid returning to Division 3, from which they emerged after last year’s campaign. But Keenan was supreme at midfield, enhancing the reputation that won him an All Star two years ago.
Playing his 100th competitive match for his county, he made a telling contribution in the battle for midfield supremacy in the company of Brian Donnelly, but there was more to his game than that. He scored four points from play and late on made a brilliant goal-line catch, followed by an interception, as Westmeath chased the goal they so badly needed.
