Tennyson will miss Cats’ semi-final

KILKENNY ace John Tennyson is set to lose his race to return for the Cats’ All-Ireland semi-final date on August 7.

The earliest he is likely to be able to follow fellow double cruciate ligament victim Henry Shefflin back into match action is a possible All-Ireland final tie on September 4.

Shefflin returned to the fray in Kilkenny’s Leinster semi-final showdown against Wexford, on June 11.
