Kevin Walsh: Jim Gavin right to protect his players

Kevin Walsh doesn’t have a Facebook account and you won’t find him on Twitter.

He spends enough time talking to players and other coaches,on the phone and in person as it is and the Galway boss has no desire to have a line of thinking permeated or de-stabilised by the babble of opinions available online.

He also sees some pundits bouncing balls and hoping others will bite and bounce them right back. “A game of tennis,” as he calls it, and he has no intention of picking up a racquet.
