When it comes to the Energia All-Ireland League, there are few players who can match the career longevity of MU Barnhall captain Tom McKeown.

A debutant during the 2004/05 season, McKeown made his 190th AIL appearance for the north Kildare club in their successful Division 2A opener against Nenagh Ormond last weekend.
