Shefflin delays call on Kilkenny future after Ballyhale’s win

Henry Shefflin says his club Ballyhale Shamrocks’ victory in the Kilkenny county final on Sunday "defers his decision" on whether to play for the Cats next year.

Speaking after Ballyhale’s win, the 10-time All-Ireland medallist said he was hoping to make the Leinster Club final.

“Whoever won Sunday was going to have it difficult going to Dublin next weekend, the people of Ballyhale will want to celebrate and we’ll celebrate and join in with them. To go play the following week is always tough, it’ll be seriously tough, but wouldn’t it be great to still go — there are only two games left in the Leinster Club championship and we’d love to do it.
