Gaeltacht hero Brian Ó Beaglaoich lauds Aidan Walsh, discusses end of year burnout

Says Kerry defender: 'There's no way I could go all this year and then straight back into pre-season with Kerry - that’s where it doesn’t work. You might be grand for the first few months of 2026 but then you’ll start feeling it'

Kerry All-Ireland winner Brian Ó Beaglaoich has singled out former Cork star Aidan Walsh for his role in securing An Ghaeltacht’s promotion back to senior grade in Kerry

Walsh played a key and mature role in Sunday’s IFC final win over David Clifford’s Fossa, especially in the second period when the west Kerry side were under the cosh for stages.
