Tommy Walsh still charmed by unloved interprovincial games

The winner of five interprovincial medals, Kilkenny’s Tommy Walsh has pleaded with the GAA to stick with the long-standing competition.

Only 100 people turned up in Semple Stadium for last Sunday’s Munster-Ulster semi-final, which hosts this evening’s final (Munster v Leinster, 7.45pm throw-in).

Whatever about how the competition is promoted, Walsh reckons players are still “having a ball” playing it and believes more would be getting involved in it but for the demands of their counties.
