Shefflin comes through Kilkenny training

Henry Shefflin is on course to be fit for the All-Ireland Senior Hurling final after coming through a full training session with Kilkenny in Nowlan Park on Wednesday night.

Tommy Walsh, Richie Power and John Tennyson also took part in the session despite injury worries in a major boost to the Cats.

Walsh looks like overcoming a shoulder injury picked up in a club match with Tulloran.

A crowd of almost 8,000 attended the training exercise. It wasn't all good news for Brian Cody, however, with Brian Hogan suffering a suspected broken finger and he is now a major doubt for the match with Tipperary.
