Michael 'Brick' Walsh will continue to concentrate solely on hurling at inter-county level next year, despite captaining Stradbally to a Waterford SFC title last Sunday.

The victory over Ballinacourty capped a memorable weekend for Walsh who collected his third All-Star hurling award in Dublin's CityWest Hotel on Friday night.

"It certainly was a weekend to remember on a personal level," he said.

"The All-Star award is much more an individual one, but to lead your club to victory in a senior county final is even more satisfying because it involves so many other of your colleagues and close friends."

While 'Brick' won't be making himself available to Waterford football boss John Owens next year, his football career will continue to take priority until November 7 at least when Stradbally face Doonbeg in the first round of the Munster club championship in Dungarvan.

"We have done really well in the provincial campaign in past years and feel we should have won the title at least once. We'll be giving it a right go again this time and who knows what will happen," he added. Tweet
