FOUR DAYS AFTER guiding Ballyhale Shamrocks to All-Ireland glory once more, Henry Shefflin has stepped down from his post as manager tonight.
The club have confirmed in a statement the departure of Shefflin due ‘to family and work commitments’.
Club Statement: 1/2 The Club would like to announce that our current Senior Management Team are stepping down with immediate effect. Henry Shefflin is no longer able to commit himself to the Senior Managers position due to family and work commitments.
2/2 The club would like to thank Henry, Richie, Paddy, Tommy & James for all their outstanding work and commitment to the club over the past 2 years and we look forward to possibly working with them again in the future.
The Kilkenny hurling great leaves the role after enjoying huge success with the club, completing back-to-back All-Ireland senior club victories on Sunday with success by 0-18 to 0-15 against Tipperary’s Borris-Ileigh in Croke Park.
Shefflin has enjoyed remarkable success with the Kilkenny hurling heavyweights, cementing their position as the leading club side in the country.
Since retiring from playing in 2017, he guided the club in 2018 to Kilkenny and Leinster glory, in 2019 to All-Ireland, Kilkenny and Leinster triumphs, and then last Sunday’s All-Ireland success at the outset of the 2020 campaign.
It marked the first time that Ballyhale had completed back-to-back All-Ireland senior titles and brought the tally to eight the number of times they have lifted the Tommy Moore Cup.
