Desperately sad news has broken in the last 24 hours of former Kilkenny hurler now Galway manager Henry Shefflin’s younger brother Paul who has sadly passed away at only 41 years of age. Paul was the father of four and this news has sent shock waves throughout the hurling club of Ballyhale Shamrocks.
Ballyhale parish priest Fr Seán O’Connor said the whole community is in shock following the tragic death of Mr Shefflin.
“Paul is the youngest of the Shefflin family and he died yesterday suddenly out running, it’s just tragedy for the whole parish,” he said.
“They are totally [in shock]. We haven’t heard much else at the moment.”
We said our thoughts and wishes to the Shefflin family.
