Walsh also said he wasn't aware late in Sunday's club final win over Glen that they had too many players on the field as they defended a '45, placing the win in jeopardy.

All-Star Galway attacker Shane Walsh admits he's mentally 'drained' after the most demanding year of his career.

The Footballer of the Year nominee has contested two All-Ireland senior finals in the last six months alone, winning with Kilmacud Crokes last Sunday following his high profile mid-season transfer.
