Kilmainhamwood would remain within the Intermediate football championship until 1982 when they defeated Martry Harps 1-05 to 0-07 in the final. This meant Kilmainhamwood would return to the Senior Football Championship. They would stay in the Senior division for another 3 years, getting relegated in 1985.

They ended their group stage with a win against Summerhill 0-15 to 1-11, placing them 2nd in their group behind Seneschalstown. The knock-out stage began with a repeat of the previous years senior final. Kilmainhamwood got the better of Dunderry this time around with a 2-09 to 2-08 victory. They then brushed Moynalvey aside 3-14 to 1-04 in the semi-final. Kilmainhamwood would finally gain their hands on the Keegan Cup for the only time in their history when they defeated Seneschalstown 2-12 to 1-06 in the final.[4] Kilmainhamwood would go on to win the Feis Cup the same year.[5]
