Alan Walsh

very wary I was only just flicking through Clubber obviously last night I had been up in Tipperary so I was flicking through trying to catch up on all the games and then Like, it looked like that Airob were very wary of kind of the power of Cantorca or the goal threat inside.

I know Paul Walsh got an early goal, kind of skipped in and took it well, but they were very wary of the kind of the long ball threat, we'd say, of Alan Walsh and lads like that when they went in around the square.

And they seem to kind of be sitting deep defensively.

Yeah,

Yeah,

yeah.

like Ian Walsh who's you know had you know he's battled with injuries over the last few years he's been a great warrior for Kent Oak over many years he came off the bench and got a two pointer yeah and they'll have him come off the bench again next year you know what I mean very experienced player Wayne Walsh when he came on again another fella who's been battling injuries you know what I mean so yeah fair play to him but from my own point of view and I know I'm speaking like a fan now what baffled me in the first half that's fine sure you're I suppose Eoghan had a slight win advantage in the first half did O'Shea and O'Shea in a full forward who's 6'5", 6'6", so he was in the end of a full forward but he was playing out more kind of a half-hour line and like they should have left him in you know on the end of the square and just you know throwing a few balls on top of him and that's what Cantuck did in the second half with Alan Walsh and you know Alan obviously you know caused Eoghan you know umpteen problems and got a point which could have ended up in the back of the net so again look I know it's grand you know in saying this in hindsight but again I learned from it all that's what it is look you know probably what we were saying at half time that Oversheen probably and then he was whipped in you know but like

but Airob will be well there next year they'll be one of the leading contenders next year again they will so

They were the team of the championship in my opinion.

The way they... took a number of big scalps there over the course of the championship including the likes of Blackrock and Sarsfields before eventually succumbing to eventual finalists there St Finbar's still in possession here with Kent Turk they're about 55 metres from goal central position there with Brian O'Sullivan slowing it down here a touch towards Paul Walsh kick pass here towards the sideline here now with Shannon Doerr, Larkon McLaughlin the 2013 finalist there with Cork against Clare, now it's back here with Liam O'Keefe, long curling ball out low towards Paul Walsh here in the left half forward position goes lateral towards the centre here now it's the outlet there, the quarterback, this is Brian O'Sullivan waits for the run there from Grantis but he didn't use him, Grantis still open there now outside him but he goes with Cush Nabrog out towards Paul Walsh again Erog happy to defend here now from the edge of the arc they are playing with a slight breeze going down towards the Black Rock side as Cantor again continuing to play in towards the sunshine here and towards the city end Liam O'Keefe back towards Tommy Walsh in the left half forward position 55 odds from goal here back with Grantis again not really threatening the goal here they still have Alan Walsh who has been a big figure in this game But he's played most of the game here at the edge of the square.

Now with Brian O'Sullivan.

Just throws a little shimmy there.

Can Turk on the brink of Premier Senior Football for the first time in their history.

What a brilliant catch.

Alan Walsh has the ball.

150 to 14 points.

Both teams are very similar, yeah.

You'll have Alan Walsh out there, so, um, you know, it'll, it'll be, it'll be a very good, good final.

You were covering then Canturk the next day, doing a bit of scouting for AoG.

[laughs]

Like they were, they were-

Now, this whole era of Canturk has just been constantly challenging in both codes and being in so many different finals and big games and-

Like Alan Walsh and Bueno Sullivan, obviously he's better known as a hurler, but he played, he played, he played very well.

He's had a great campaign.

And you're saying, geez, Darren Brown did a good job on him.

Because he can... damage the team so well and looking ahead to the final he's going to you'd imagine probably Robert Downey given that he's been given that kind of job in the Glens matches so far and it's just really one to look forward to and you'd have that all over the pitch you had it yesterday it was just great to start looking at the matchup seeing who was picking up who Tommy Walsh and William Buckley Ryan Walsh on Ben Cunningham then down at the other end you had Damien Callaghan against Alan Walsh Jamie Burns against Colin Walsh and The bars, early on, they were kind of staying zonal for the Kentorch puck outs and Kentorch were probably from that.

Just doing a limerick on it, kind of, yeah.

Whereas the other end, Kentorch, were just going man for man.
