Henry Shefflin braced for testing second-year with Tribesmen

Up and running. This year Henry Shefflin and Richie O’Neill found a schedule that worked for them. They’d leave Kilkenny and travel west early in the morning, work from an office for the day, head to Galway training and trek back.

After completing his debut season in inter-county management, the Galway boss is busy preparing for year two. He sits back at ease at the launch of their five-year sponsorship extension with Supermac’s in the Lough Rea Hotel.
