Laois Drop Gary Walsh For League Final After Controversial Tweet

Laois forward Gary Walsh has been dropped for tomorrow's National Football League Division Four Final against Carlow.

The Ballylinan clubman, who has scored 4-41 for the O'Moores in their last six games, has been left out for the game at Croke Park following a controversial tweet in the wake of the verdict in the Belfast rape trial this week.

He called on the accuser to be 'destroyed in the papers' and said he would 'throw the kitchen sink' at feminists.

Walsh later deleted the post and apologised after Laois GAA and their sponsors MW Hire disassociated themselves from his tweet.

 

 

After being dropped for this weekend's game, the forward deleted his apology and has since blurred the Laois GAA crest and sponsor on his profile photo on twitter.

Despite being left out this weekend, Walsh remains part of their panel for the Championship.

Laois won't be naming a team to the media ahead of Division Four Final, with forwards Paul Kingston and Evan O'Carroll both major doubts.
