Keith Beirne (born 28 March 1997) is an Irish Gaelic footballer who plays for Mohill[1][2] and at senior level for the Leitrim county team.[3]
In an away game against Derry, Beirne scored nine points in the opening round of the 2020 National Football League (a game which ended in a draw), this after Leitrim had been promoted from Division 4 back to Division 3 for the first time in 12 years.[4]
Beirne forced extra time with a late point against Sligo in the 2022 Tailteann Cup but Sligo ran out winners in the end.[5] In October, he was named on the Tailteann Cup Team of the Year, the only Leitrim player represented.[6][7][8] He has played in the US as well.[9]
The Beirne family from Mohill won the fifth season of Ireland's Fittest Family when Keith was 20.[10]
