NINE ALL-IRELAND senior medals, 10 Leinster titles, nine All-Star awards and the leading hurling in the country in 2009.
Tommy Walsh brought the curtain down on his decorated hurling career in 2014 and last night the Kilkenny great’s achievements were back in the spotlight as he got the Laochra Gael treatment on TG4.
There was no shortage of praise from those who watched the exploits of the Tullaroan man.

On the way back to London with the London branch of the Munster Supporters Club. Great game, fantastic atmosphere. Mumhan abú!!! Roll on the QF’s.
How can Declan Kidney not include James Coughlan, he is a monster
Can’t wait for the quarter in Limerick. Leinster or ulster maybe?
Typical munster “fan”, a home quarter final with leinster is not possible.
That’s a bit harsh..
Either munster or leinster have to get ulster so at least one Irish team in the semis. I think it’s set up just right for a Munster Leinster semi.
Although a good chance of both making it an all Ireland final now there’s the biggest club game in history.
At the very least he deserves a start with the “Wolfhounds”
Finally Munster came alive and Zebo was stunning, unstoppable.
Zebo was like an Olympic sprinter out there!
I’m a Leinster fan and am delighted that three of the four Irish province’s are through to the quarter’s but does anyone share my point of view that our obsession with the H cup is damaging the national side…..
No.
Kidney should have selected players who will be around for the next world cup apart from Ross and paulie.
