Pocket-rocket Walsh happy to play in any position for Kilkenny

KILKENNY’S Tommy Walsh insisted yesterday that the All-Ireland champions have nothing to prove as they prepare for an eagerly awaited semi-final against Munster kingpins Waterford on Sunday.

Chasing what would be an historic third title in a row, Brian Cody's team have been, in no particular order, mediocre, workmanlike and electric at different stages this season.

Having lost to Wexford in the Leinster semi-final they went through the motions against Dublin in their first qualifier before destroying Galway with some superb hurling in Thurles.
