Esteemed Kilkenny senior hurler and Tullogher Rosbercon clubman Walter Walsh has announced his retirement from inter- county hurling after 13 seasons.
Walsh joined the senior panel in 2012 at 21 years of age, making a man of the match debut in the All-Ireland final replay win against Galway, the first hurling final to be forced to a replay since 1959.
Over a glittering career in the black and amber, the Tullogher-Rosbercon forward won eight Leinster titles, four National League titles and three All-Ireland titles as well as an All-Star in 2016.
