Walsh: Con set for tough league final

CORK CONSTITUTION coach Brian Walsh believes that win or lose in Saturday’s All-Ireland league final against Garryowen, the club can look on the season with a degree of pride.

Walsh’s approach didn’t please everyone at Temple Hill, though the critics were forced to bite their tongues as his young hopefuls took the AIB League by storm to take top spot and then win an absorbing semi-final against UL Bohemians.

Walsh is the first to admit that Constitution were lucky to reach the final: “That game was scary; it came down to a mistake by them and we got through. We were lucky,” he says.
