Shefflin too good to be held in reserve, warns Cats legend Carter

Injury and injury alone has kept Henry Shefflin from the Kilkenny championship team these last 16 years.

That is as true now as it was when a foot operation ended his incredible run of 62 SHC starts ended in June of last year.

Since then, he has missed four entire games through injury, appeared as a substitute in five and started just one, last year’s All-Ireland quarter-final against Cork in which he was sent off.
