Tommy Walsh is gearing up for an All-Ireland semi-final in Croke Park with Kerins O’Rahillys.
FOR TOMMY WALSH, bonus territory doesn’t quite capture what an All-Ireland semi-final against Dublin giants Kilmacud Crokes means for his Kerry club Kerins O’Rahillys.And on the few occasions when Sunday’s final-four showdown comes up during a press call, Walsh keeps circling back to roughly the same answer. Indeed, their opponents have the favourites tag for this clash, but Kerins O’Rahilly’s won’t be daunted by the hype.
“Yes we’re playing a really strong team in Croke Park on Sunday, heavily fancied and deservedly so but we’ve a lot of quality footballers on our team. So if they strike form, they could do damage, and that’s our goal going up there.“To play a good game, for lads to play their team role, to get enough guys playing well and I think if we can, we have a real chance. We’ve obviously done a lot of work on Kilmacud, but the most important thing going up there is that we focus on ourselves.
Thirteen years on from that missed opportunity, Walsh made up for lost time with a menacing performance from the edge of the square. That’s where he typically produces his best work.
