Patient Shefflin not setting any targets
Eight months on since aggravating a tear in the cruciate ligament of his left knee, and a week after his return to action with Ballyhale, the eight-time All Star is still refusing to set a target for his competitive return with Kilkenny.
The Leinster side’s championship opener against either Laois, Antrim or Wexford is still five weeks away but Shefflin believes it will be much deeper into the summer, or more, before he is back to his optimum self regardless of when he clocks back in.
