Frankie Walsh
Frankie Walsh (1936 – 28 December 2012) was an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-forward at senior level for the Waterford county team.
Walsh made his first appearance for the team during the 1956 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1970 championship. During that time he won one All-Ireland medal, three Munster medals and one National Hurling League medal. In 1959 Walsh captained the team to the All-Ireland title.
At club level Walsh had a lengthy career with Mount Sion, winning twelve county club championship.
In retirement from playing Walsh became involved in team management. He trained the Waterford senior hurling team in the early 1970s before later serving as manager of the Mount Sion senior hurling team in the early 1990s.
Frankie Walsh was born in the city of Waterford in 1936. He was greatly influenced by John Keane (a distant relative) and others from the 1948 All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship winning team. The year after this victory Walsh began hurling with Mount Sion CBS in the street leagues in the city. He captured his very first medal that same year when defeating Roanmore in the street league final. In 1953 Walsh was a member of the Mount Sion team that competed in the Dr Harty Cup competition. Mount Sion defeated St Flannan's College of Ennis in the final to take the title. Walsh later worked as a welder in his native Waterford.
Walsh played his club hurling and football with the Mount Sion club and enjoyed much success in a career that spanned three decades.
After winning a county minor championship medal in 1953, Walsh joined the Mount Sion senior hurling team in 1954. That year the club won the championship after a defeat of Erin's Own, however, Walsh was an unused substitute and didn't receive a medal.
By 1955 Walsh was a regular member of the Mount Sion starting fifteen. A 2–10 to 3–4 defeat of Abbeyside gave Walsh his first championship medal on the field of play. It was the first of seven successive championships for Walsh as Mount Sion continued to dominated club hurling in Waterford.
