The big news emanating from the Kilkenny Camp this Friday evening is that Henry Shefflin will be in the starting line-up for next Sunday’s Bord na Móna Walsh Cup semi-final against Galway. Henry will be part of a hugely experienced half forward line which also includes Colin Fennelly and Eoin Larkin. The inside line comprises Jonjo Farrell, Mark Kelly and Liam Ryan all of whom had impressive scoring performances in the quarter-final last weekend. The Emeralds club provides the two mid-fielders in Aidan Fogarty and Paraic Phelan. In defence Brian Hogan returns to the No 6 shirt whilst newcomers Shane Prendergast, Michael Walsh and Joey Holden are all retained from last weekend’s team.
