Kilkenny hurling legend welcomes twins just days after hanging up his boots

GAA legend Walter Walsh has revealed he will definitely be kept busy despite officially hanging up his Kilkenny hurling boots last Friday. The 33-year-old posted a photograph with the two new arrivals in his life, twins which were born at St Luke’s General Hospital. Local sources confirmed the twins were born two weeks ago to the happy parents Vicky and Walter.

Walsh said: ‘The next chapter...



Plenty to keep me occupied in retirement. Thanks for all the messages and well wishes.’ Fellow Kilkenny player TJ Reid was fast off the ball to send his best wishes saying: ‘Congratulations’ while his wife Niamh also offered her congratulations.

Hurler Richie Hogan added: ‘That’s brilliant Wally! Fun times ahead.’ The Tullogher–Rosbercon forward has retired after a decorated 13-year career with Kilkenny. Walter , a teacher with the Good Counsel Secondary School in New Ross, Co Wexford has already returned to his other favourite sport rugby.
