Over the course of the next five seasons, he won three All-Ireland medals, beginning with back-to-back triumphs in 1898 and 1899, followed by a third and final championships in 1902.

As a track athlete, Keane won the Irish 120 yards hurdles in 1900 before becoming one of the most effective sports administrators of the early part of the 20th century.
