Walsh winning battle for final fitness

KERINS O’Rahilly’s attacker Barry John Walsh is winning his race to be fit in time for next Sunday’s Kerry SFC final.

Walsh was stretchered off in the first-half of last Sunday’s Munster Club SFC defeat to Nemo Rangers, suffering from an achilles tendon injury. Initially his prospects of appearing in this Sunday’s tie with Mid Kerry appeared slim but he has recovered well and now looks set to feature in the forward line.

Walsh, who featured for the Kerry minors this summer, has been a key component in Kerins O’Rahilly’s march to the county final, starring in the attack alongside his brother Tommy.
