Shefflin Returns as Kilkenny Manager | Limerick News

Henry Shefflin, hurling legend and former Kilkenny star, has been named the new manager of the senior team, stepping into the role after Derek Lyng’s departure. With a proven coaching track record—including leading Kilkenny U20s to the Leinster final and guiding Galway to back-to-back All-Ireland semi-finals—Shefflin brings a blend of experience and fresh energy. His club success with Ballyhale Shamrocks, including two consecutive All-Ireland titles, further cements his credentials. This appointment, long anticipated since Brian Cody’s era ended, marks a pivotal moment for Kilkenny as they look ahead to the 2027 season under Shefflin’s leadership.
