For the Walsh clan and Kanturk, the time to deliver is now

A ninth county final in green and white for Aidan Walsh, one of seven on the team, is a chance to make up for too many recent pains

At 32, Aidan Walsh is the eldest of the seven Walsh's on the Kanturk football team. Below him is younger brother Tommy and first cousins Alan, Colin, Ian, Paul, and Ryan.

The oldest of the Walsh clan often remarks to the other six that in 20 years’ time they’ll be together in some quiet pub corner reminiscing on these “great times” with Kanturk. His message to them is always the same: to make the most of their time in the spotlight, to make sure there is plenty to reminisce about 20 years from now.
