Waterford hurlers have suffered another retirement blow with the news that experienced forward Shane Walsh has played his last game for the county.
The 31-year-old Fourmilewater/Nire clubman played for the Deise for 11 years, during which he won an Allianz League medal in 2007 and Munster titles in 2007 and 2010. He also represented the county in football and famously scored the winning goal against a Kerry team that included Colm Cooper and Kieran Donaghy in the 2003 Munster U21 final.
"It was time to make my mind up as I was carrying a few injuries," Walsh said in the Irish Independent.
On Tuesday, Walsh's Waterford team-mate Seamus Prendergast called time on his 14-year career with the Deise.
