Cork’s Walsh in the dark over dual clash

CORK senior footballer Aidan Walsh’s participation in Wednesday’s Bord Gáis Energy Munster U21HC quarter-final against Waterford in Páirc Uí Chaoimh remains in doubt due his involvement in the provincial senior football semi-final showdown against Kerry on Sunday week.

Walsh admitted yesterday he is still in the dark as to whether he will play, and that a decision will be taken early next week. The Kanturk player featured for the county U21 hurling side at wing-back last year in their Munster quarter-final defeat against Tipperary and would be a valuable addition to Ger Fitzgerald’s charges.

But after an impressive league campaign, he is in a strong position to make his starting senior debut for the Cork footballers in Killarney on June 6.
