Walsh set for sensational Carlow return

WICKLOW midfielder Thomas Walsh is on the brink of a sensational return to the Carlow senior football panel, three years after transferring from his native Carlow to Wicklow in controversial fashion.

The shock move would set up a dramatic Leinster SFC first round tie on May 16 in Portlaoise where Walsh would line out for Carlow against his former side Wicklow.

It is understood that Walsh has been in regular contact with Carlow boss Luke Dempsey in recent weeks and intimated last week that he wished to return to the Barrowside fold.
