Cats legend Skehan says Shefflin is greatest of all time

Kilkenny’s nine-time All-Ireland medallist Noel Skehan believes Henry Shefflin doesn’t need to match his all-time SHC record this Sunday to prove he is the greatest hurler of all time.

Former goalkeeper Skehan, who won six of his Celtic Crosses between the posts and three as substitute to the late great Ollie Walsh, will be joined by Shefflin and Noel Hickey should they beat Galway in three days’ time.

The Bennettsbridge man, a former selector under Brian Cody, would gladly welcome the company but insists Shefflin has already done enough in the game to illustrate he has no peers.
