'What a buzz' - well-known Kilkenny hurler and camogie player announce engagement
Well wishes for the couple have been flooding in for the Kilkenny hurling and camogie stars
Supporters of local hurling and camogie have been in high spirits over the past week following the announcement of the engagement of a prominent Kilkenny hurler and camogie player.
Kilkenny camogie star Laura Greene and former senior hurler Shane Walsh announced the exciting news to their thousands of Instagram followers earlier this month.
Greene is an integral part of the Kilkenny camogie team, commanding the midfield position with class and gile. The O'Loughlin Gaels clubwoman also played a key role with the Muckalee footballers in their historic run to the AIB All-Ireland junior title.
Meanwhile, Walsh, a brother to multiple All-Ireland winners Tommy, Grace and Padraig, has also worn the black and amber with pride, but is arguably better known for his exploits in a Tullaroan jersey.
The former St Kieran's College student captained his native club to county, provincial and All-Ireland glory in 2019/2020, scoring the clinching point against Fr O'Neill's in the All-Ireland decider.
Followers were quick to wish the happy couple the very best.
One wrote, "Eeeeeeeeeek, what a buzz," while another added, "ahhh congrats kiddos."
We wish the pair a lifetime of happiness together.
