The legendary defender won’t be seen in black and amber again…

KCLR FM have confirmed that Kilkenny’s Tommy Walsh has decided to call time on his intercounty hurling career.

Walsh has been one of the best defenders in the game for the last decade or so and played a huge part in Kilkenny’s domination during that period.

Tommy was restricted to a bit part role in the Kilkenny’s run to the All-Ireland title this season.

The Tullaroan man won nine All-Irelands, nine Leinster titles and nine All Stars award during his time with the Cats.

What a servant and what a player.
