Shefflin back for Cats

Henry Shefflin returns to the Kilkenny team for Sunday's National Hurling League Division 1A clash with Galway at Nowlan Park.

The AllStar missed last weekend's opening round victory over Waterford with a groin injury and he replaces Eddie Brennan in the full-forward line.

Willie O'Dwyer, who deputised for Shefflin last weekend, retains his places and lines out at left half-forward.

KILKENNY (SH v Galway): J McGarry; J Tennyson, N Hickey, J Ryall; M Kavanagh, T Walsh, JJ Delaney; D Lyng, B Barry; J Fitzpatrick, M Comerford, W O'Dwyer; R Power, J Hoyne, H Shefflin.
