Aidan Walsh hinders his Rules chances

New Ireland International Rules manager Joe Kernan believes Aidan Walsh’s chances of extending his International Rules career will be hindered by his decision to concentrate his efforts with Cork’s hurlers this year.

Walsh was vice-captain to Michael Murphy in Perth last November, but admitted beforehand it would be his last test. Another dual player Seán Óg Ó hAilpín has previously joined the Ireland panel, despite having ended his inter-county football career.

However, Kernan indicated he would be looking at inter-county footballers only for the one-off November 21 test in Croke Park.
