“I’m very excited,” Walsh told the Irish Examiner. “It’s something that has been on my mind for the last few years, I’m 23 now so I’m probably at the age when I can give it a go for a few years. I’m back at home as well so that’s a help too. There’s only a short period of time when you can combine them. I had decided that if Jimmy asked me to play hurling then I would. I was talking to him recently and when he’d asked if I’d be interested I said I’d love to give it a go.”
Walsh recently admitted that any decision on a potential dual role depended on the blessing of the new football boss.
“I suppose he can kind of understand why I would like to try it if I was able for it,” Walsh told TheScore.ie. “I suppose I’ve to wait and see if Jimmy gives me a ring first to see if he wants me. I can’t be jumping to conclusions first.”
Walsh was rumoured to be in the mix for a spot on JBM’s panel ahead of the All-Ireland hurling final replay.
“No, that was pure and utter lies to be honest,” said Walsh. I don’t know where it came from. There were people coming up to saying they were putting money on me to get first goal in the final. I was saying, ‘work away’. But no, I was never in with them once.”
Kanturk claimed a Cork IHC thanks to a final win over Eire Óg recently.
