Whole new ball game as GAA stars change sticks

WITH an All-Ireland SFC medal, an All-Star and the Young Footballer of the Year on his résumé, one would imagine Cork midfielder Aidan Walsh would be happy with his sporting lot in 2010.

But the 20-year-old dual star from Kanturk shows no sign stopping and will try something new and unusual this weekend, when he lines out for CIT in the hockey intervarsities in UCD.

Walsh will be joined on the squad by Cork senior hurling panellist Lorcan McLoughlin, while in the women’s squad, the GAA links continue with the inclusion of Tipperary ladies senior footballer Gillian O’Brien and Cork camogie starlet Christine O’Neill.
