Walsh: Managers ending dual careers

Cork managers are the ones who called the shots in ending the dual commitments of Eoin Cadogan, Damien Cahalane and Aidan Walsh, according to former hurling boss and dual player Denis Walsh.

Over the weekend, Cadogan and Cahalane opted for football and hurling only respectively next season. Walsh last month announced he would concentrate on hurling in 2015. But his namesake Denis is adamant they were compelled to make their choices by Brian Cuthbert and Jimmy Barry-Murphy.

“What I would have been thinking to myself over the last couple of years is that it really depends on the mindset of the manager in question. Up to this point, we have been talking about what the player wants to do. That’s irrelevant.
