Walsh is the next DJ

PROPORTIONATE to its population and size, Kilkenny has produced more hurling superstars than any other county – now comes news of another.

Just as DJ Carey assumed the mantle of greatness worn for many years with such grace by Eddie Keher and even as the same DJ embellishes an already honour-laden career, young Tommy Walsh emerges from the shadows, into the national spotlight.

Down in Cat country, where very little escapes the attention of the aficionados, they’ve known about him for some time, followed his progress through the ranks, from schools, colleges, through minor and U-21.
