Connie Keane (born 1930) was an Irish hurler who played as a right wing-back for the Tipperary senior team.[1]
Keane joined the team during the 1951 championship and was a semi-regular member of the team until he retired from inter-county hurling after the 1956 championship. During that time he won one Munster winners' medal and two National Hurling League winners' medals.[2] He also won one All-Ireland winners' medal as a non-playing substitute.
At club level Keane first hurled with the Thurles Fennelly's, it was here he caught the eye of Tipperary selectors playing Minor in '47' & '48'. Connie then moved clubs and was a multiple county club championship medalist with Thurles Sarsfields.
