Unconquerable Keane… unforgettable book

‘The Unconquerable Keane’, written by David Smith and just published by Original Writing Ltd, is one of the greatest books ever written about the game of hurling or about an individual hurler, writes An Fear Rua…

This is as it should be. John Keane of Mount Sion, Waterford and Munster was one of the greatest hurlers ever.

Through the hurling ages, three names recur and persist – Ring, Mackey and Keane. This remains true even today when there are few, if any, eye witnesses to their greatness still living. A tribute to the depth and persistence of the respect and affection in which they are held by hurling men and women of every county.

However, as a Waterford local historian, Jack O’Neill, has said, Keane would have been noted as a remarkable man even if he had never held a hurley in his hand. He was a quiet, courageous patriot. He was a mathematical genius. He was startlingly handsome. At only eighteen or nineteen years of age he was leading, and was being looked up to, on the hurling and football field, by men much older than him.
