BREAKING: In a swift move that is shaking the camogie community, Tommy Shefflin has officially stepped down as the senior manager of Kilkenny Camogie. The announcement was made just moments ago, marking a significant transition for the team following a season filled with highs and lows.

Shefflin’s tenure included guiding the Cats to remarkable victories, including All Ireland titles in 2020 and 2022 as a selector under former manager Brian Dowling. His leadership this past season culminated in a triumphant Leinster Championship win before the team faced a setback against Tipperary in the All-Ireland quarter-finals.

In a statement released by Kilkenny Camogie, officials expressed their gratitude:

“Tommy has contributed greatly to Kilkenny Camogie, not only this season where he guided Kilkenny to another Leinster Championship title but as a selector for four years. We would sincerely like to thank Tommy for his commitment & unwavering dedication over this time.”

The statement also acknowledged his backroom team for their tireless efforts.

This departure comes on the heels of Shefflin’s involvement with Shamrocks Ballyhale, where he played a pivotal role in the Piltown club’s historic first senior championship win in 2024. His impact on both club and county levels has been profound, and the announcement leaves a void that will be felt by players and fans alike.

As Kilkenny Camogie looks to the future, the focus now shifts to finding a successor who can continue the legacy Shefflin has built. Fans and stakeholders are eager to see who will take the helm of this storied program.
