Tommy Walsh: ‘Tipperary putting Lar Corbett out on me in 2012... it was just a massive mistake’

Tommy Walsh has spoken openly for the first time about the difficulty he experienced in being dropped by Brian Cody in 2014.

The nine-time All Star, who retired from Kilkenny at the end of the season at the relatively young age of 31, felt the writing was on the wall earlier that season when he wasn’t started in league games.

What softened the blow was that his right half-back berth was later handed to his younger brother Pádraig but Walsh doesn’t hide his disappointment in tonight’s Laochra Gael on TG4.
