Brian Keating (born 2003) is an Irish hurler and Gaelic footballer. At club level, he plays with Ballincollig and at inter-county level with the Cork senior hurling team.
Career
Keating played hurling at all grades as a student at Christian Brothers College in Cork. He was part of the school's senior hurling team that beat Gaelcholáiste Mhuire AG to win the Dr O'Callaghan Cup in 2022.[1] He later lined out with University College Cork in the Fitzgibbon Cup.[2] At club level with Ballincollig, Keating has played as a dual player with the club's top adult teams.[3]
Keating first appeared on the inter-county scene for Cork as a member of the minor team beaten by Limerick in the 2020 Munster MHC semi-final.[4] He immediately progressed to the Cork under-20 team and won an All-Ireland U20HC title, albeit as a member of the extended panel, following a 4–19 to 2–14 defeat of Galway in the 2021 All-Ireland U20HC final.[5] Keating claimed a second All-Ireland U20HC title in three seasons in his third and final year with the team in 2023.[6]
Keating was drafted onto the extended panel of the senior team in advance of the 2026 National Hurling League.[7][8]
