Henry Shefflin: 'As joyous an occasion as today is, it’s also a very sad day'

Ballyhale Shamrocks manager Henry Shefflin paid tribute to the late Eugene Aylward in the aftermath of his side’s win in the All-Ireland club hurling championship today.

The Kilkenny side collected an eighth All-Ireland title but Shefflin revealed that they had not used Aylward’s number 19 jersey as a tribute to their clubmate, who died in a car crash last year.
