Shane Walsh’s transfer to Kilmacud Crokes has been confirmed and the Galway star has been cleared to play for them in the Dublin championship.

It is understood that his home club Kilkerrin-Clonberne did not lodge an objection to the controversial transfer, but the north Galway club have voiced their unhappiness over rural clubs battling to hold on to their players.
