Walsh’s Wicklow transfer on hold as council probes saga

THE Leinster Council is to investigate the controversial transfer of Thomas Walsh from Carlow to Wicklow.

Carlow officials have asked the provincial body to satisfy itself that Rule 39 (on permanent residence) is fully complied with in the case of the transfer application by Walsh from Fenagh in Carlow to Bray Emmetts.

Following the request, the Leinster Competitions Control Committee has convened a meeting of all interested parties for Tuesday night in Portlaoise. The council said that Walsh may not play with Bray until the outcome of the meeting is made public.
