Tommy Walsh (born 2003) is an Irish Gaelic footballer. At club level he plays with Kanturk and at inter-county level with the Cork senior football team. He is a brother of Aidan Walsh.[1]
Career
[edit]Walsh first played Gaelic football and hurling to a high standard as a student at Coláiste Treasa in Kanturk. He was part of the school team that won the Munster Colleges SBHC title after beating Scoil Pól in the 2020 final.[2] Walsh has also lined out with MTU Cork in the Sigerson Cup.[3]
After progressing through the juvenile and underage ranks with the Kanturk club, Walsh made his adult team debut as a dual player in 2021. That year he was a member of the extended panel when Kanturk beat Fr O'Neill's to win the Cork SAHC title.[4] A year later, Walsh was a full member of the team when Kanturk beat Bantry Blues to win the Cork PIFC title.[5] The success continued in 2023 when he claimed a Duhallow U21AFC title.[6]
Walsh first appeared on the inter-county scene for Cork as a dual player at minor level in 2020.[7] He later progressed to the under-20 team as a Gaelic footballer and won a Munster U20FC medal in 2021.[8] Walsh earned a call-up to the senior team in 2022.[9]
