Walsh still has big calls to make

ABOUT midway through the first half in Sunday’s league clash between Cork and Dublin, one of our press box brethren wondered aloud how close the home 15 were to the starting side in the championship.

Very close, was the consensus.

Last Sunday was the fourth time Denis Walsh’s side lost a league game by a point. Factor in a draw with Tipperary and the omens don’t look too promising for Leeside supporters ahead of a May meeting with Knocknagow in Thurles.
