Who is Denis Walsh?

Denis Walsh is an Irish hurling manager and former dual player of Gaelic games. He is a former manager of the Cork senior hurling team.

An effective dual player, Walsh enjoyed a successful playing career at club level with St. Catherine's and Kildorrery and at inter-county level with Cork. He was a key member of both the Cork football and hurling teams throughout the 1980s and 1990s, winning All-Ireland, Munster and National League titles in both codes.

After some relatively unsuccessful spells as manager of various club sides, Walsh took charge of the Waterford senior football team in 2001. He left after two unsuccessful seasons. Walsh emerged as a surprise contender for the vacant managerial position with the Cork senior hurling team and was duly appointed in March 2009.
