Kilkenny hurler reveals reason for retiring from senior inter-county hurling

Four-time All-Ireland winner with Kilkenny, Walter Walsh has told the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast the time was right to call time on his decorated inter-county career.

Over a glittering career in the black and amber, the forward won eight Leinster titles, four National League titles and three All-Ireland titles as well as an All-Star in 2016.

However, speaking at the launch of the GOAL Mile, sponsored by AIB, the Tullogher Rosbercon clubman said he felt now was the right time to hang up his Kilkenny boots.

"I just think the time is right," he commented, adding, "there's not many lads playing inter-county at 33 years of age."

"I've been humbled by the amount of messages and well wishes I've got, I couldn't have imagined the impact I've had on people over my career with Kilkenny."
