Walsh desperate to make amends

After the Munster final, Anthony Nash headed off to Albufeira in Portugal for a few days, tweeting a photograph of himself and Tubes from Sky Sports’ Soccer Am programme.

No such luxuries for his Kanturk clubmate Aidan Walsh. His immediate days after beating Limerick consisted of a return to training under Brian Cuthbert with a championship game with the Duhallow footballers thrown in for good measure. What made the transition easier for Walsh was his determination to make up for the reverse against Kerry.

As he said himself: “I suppose if it’s true what they say — that you’re only as good as your last game — we were really screwed after that one because things didn’t go our way and it’s very easy to throw the blame on someone.”
