Shane Walsh is confident of being fit for Galway’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Donegal on the weekend after next.

The Kilmacud Crokes forward scored 0-7 in an outstanding display as the Tribesmen sensationally ousted All-Ireland champions Dublin on Saturday, despite carrying a thigh injury into the game which eventually forced him to retire after 65 minutes.  

Speaking to Galway Bay FM afterwards, he provided a positive update on his fitness: “I’ll be fine. All-Ireland semi-finals don't come around too often. We'll get there. We've a good medical team there. Everyone's looking after me in fairness so I can't complain."

Walsh also spoke of the huge belief Galway manager Padraic Joyce has instilled in his players.

"Padraic said at half-time we probably didn't play too well, but we stayed in the game, and that's a good sign of a team that we can stay in the game not playing well,” he continued.

"We got moving then. We just said we're leaving everything out there today and if we leave our best out there, we're going to get over the line and that's how it turned out."
