Hurling
Keaney is also renowned as a great hurling player and was a dual-county player for Dublin, he decided to concentrate on Gaelic football in 2005, and opted out of the Dublin Hurling squad in 2005. This dealt a double blow to the Dublin Hurling squad as David O'Callaghan made a similar decision. Keaney amazingly received nomination for an All-star in 2003 despite Dublins lack of progress in the Championship. Also in 2003, Keaney was part of the Dublin side that shocked Leinster hurling by beating Kilkenny in the 2003 Walsh Cup, Keaney scored a point in the game. He rejoined the hurling team in 2011. Keaney played for Ballyboden St Endas in the 2006 Dublin Senior Club Hurling Championship, losing to Craobh Chiaráin in the final. Keaney won his first Dublin Senior Hurling Championship medal with his club Ballyboden St Endas in October 2007.
