In September 2006 Camross and Castletown played each other in Laois Senior Hurling Championship, where there had an off the field brawl. Camross won the game by a score line of 2-11 to 0-10. A week after the game both clubs were thrown out of the following championship for 2007 by Laois County Board. Both clubs appealed the decision; after months of working together they were allowed back into the championship. But Keenan felt that Laois County Board and some local media had made a personal attack on Camross and him, so he made the decision not to part take with Laois.
