Walsh ready for battle with housemate pal Flynn

Naturally, it’s been radio silence with his college housemate Paul Flynn this week, but Aidan Walsh doesn’t forget what the Dublin footballer did for him earlier this year.

Ask him how supportive Flynn was during Walsh’s elongated and unsuccessful eligibility case to play for DCU, the Kanturk man says: “Huge. He was captain of the DCU team and was really pushing for me to get to play which is hugely appreciated (he spoke out for Walsh in the press too).

“The rest of the Dublin players, Jonny Cooper, James McCarthy, were all helping me big time. They’re fierce nice guys and I have great time for them.”
