Star forward Shane Walsh has left the entire Galway GAA community in shock after requesting a transfer from his home club to join Dublin and Leinster giants Kilmacud Crokes.
The 29-year old, who scored nine points in last weeks All Ireland final in one of the great losing performances in the history of the competition, has informed his home club Kilkerrin/Clonberne that he wishes to line-out for the Stillorgan based club.
Walsh would strengthen a Kilmacud Crokes side that made it all the way to the Club All Ireland final earlier this year before losing in heartbreaking fashion to Kilcoo in extra-time. In joining the club, Walsh would form a formidable partnership up front with multiple All Ireland winner for Dublin Paul Mannion.
