Shefflin ruled out of All-Ireland final

Kilkenny's all-time top scorer Henry Shefflin has been ruled out of action for next month's All-Ireland Senior Hurling final, after Kilkenny officials confirmed the extent of the Ballyhale Shamrocks player's injury this evening.

Shefflin picked up a knee injury after 25 minutes in the Cats' semi-final victory over Cork on Sunday and underwent a scan with a local consultant today.
