Shane Walsh made his long awaited debut for Kilmacud Crokes this afternoon as the reigning Dublin champions got their title defence off to the perfect start with a 25-point drubbing of Templeogue Synge Street.
Walsh had to wait until the 41st minute to make his debut as the former Kilkerrin/Clonberne star began the game on the bench. It didn't take long for Walsh to show what he was capable of, kicking over a gorgeous right-footed score after a trademark jink less than a quarter of an hour into his debut.
There was no sign of Walsh's eight point All Ireland final heroics as the new Crokes star had to make do with just a solitary score. The signs were positive for Kilmacud fans though, as Walsh linked up well with his teammates as the game progressed.
