Shefflin: Marked man Reid can stretch Tribe

Henry Shefflin has suggested that Brian Cody might switch TJ Reid to full-forward to avoid the man-marking attention he has experienced against Dublin and Offaly this month.

Ahead of Galway’s first Leinster game in Pearse Stadium on Sunday, Austin Gleeson spoke of how closely Gearóid McInerney tracked him in last year’s All-Ireland final. And Reid could be in for similar treatment if he lines out at centre-forward in Salthill.

However, after the detailing done on Reid by Eoghan O’Donnell and Pat Camon in recent weeks, Shefflin thinks Cody might have something else planned for his Ballyhale Shamrocks club-mate.
