Henry's back for Offaly match

[royalblue]

Hi Lads

Henry Shefflin played for Ballyhale on Sunday this could be bad news for Offaly also John Tennyison played for Carrickshock

[corner back]

... and Jackie Tyrell played for James Stephens.

John Tennyson only played for a few minutes at the weekend and wasn't on the starting team last year anyway.

Henry Shefflin feeling his way back into intercounty hurling or Richie Hogan chomping at the bit to justify a place in the team for the rest of the summer - I've the utmost respect for what Shefflin can do but the last thing Offaly should be thinking about is what standard of player Kilkenny will put out - every one of them will be a multiple All Ireland winner - either now, or in the future.

The point is to see if we've improved from last year and maybe be there or thereabouts with ten minutes to go - anything Galway can do, we should be able to do. No point in measuring yourself against a weakened Kilkenny - bring it on.
