Duignan: Why Cody must start Shefflin and Walsh in replay

Start Henry Shefflin and Tommy Walsh — that’s Michael Duignan’s advice to Brian Cody for the All-Ireland final replay later this month.

The Offaly man saw enough evidence in last Sunday’s drawn game to start the pair, who between them have won 17 All-Ireland titles and 19 All Stars.

He believes Shefflin can do a job in the full-forward line. “The frustration that Henry has must be massive at this stage. I’ve argued that playing him on the wing at 35 years of age, he mightn’t have the pace but anywhere along the full-forward line I think he could have a bearing and it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if he had to go off.
