Brennan urges Cats to drive on

Eddie Brennan has called on the Kilkenny players to "drive it on" in the absence of Henry Shefflin.

Ballyhale Shamrocks clubman Shefflin, replaced in last week’s Allianz HL final, had a stress fracture in his foot confirmed last Friday putting his participation in Kilkenny’s championship opener on June 7 against Offaly in serious doubt.

Brennan, holder of eight All-Ireland medals won alongside Shefflin, says other players must now take on the leadership mantle within the group.
