Standout Players from the 2026 Walsh Cup:
Round 1 v Wexford:
Podge Delaney was in top form at centre back, particularly excellent at hitting long range balls from both play and frees, that led to opportunities and scores for forwards. His long runs down the field to carry possession really well, contributed greatly to attack aswel.
Cillian Dunne made his Laois senior hurling debut vs Wexford with an impressive performance. He started with a well taken score from play, worked hard to both win and turn over possession, injected pace into the full forward line as he was excellent at beating players on the run, and won frees in for Aaron Dunphy to score.
Shield Quarter Final v Carlow:
Eoghan Cuddy made some really strong tackles and produced timely interceptions to turnover possession in the half back line as he worked really hard and impressed in defence at left half back.
Shield Semi Final v Kilkenny
Jack Kelly’s performance stood out here as he proved to be a highly notable return to the squad, and a major boost up front after a lively display in attack. He was consistently involved in set up play from centre half forward, showed great vision and got some very good scores from play, alongside a point from a brilliant sideline cut. Total Score vs Kilkenny (0-4: 0-3 from play, 0-1 sideline cut).
