Kilkenny hurling legend Henry Shefflin says his young son is progressing well after being injured in a lawnmower accident last month.

Henry jnr suffered a foot injury following the incident at the family home in Kilkenny and Shefflin has paid tribute to the staff of Crumlin Children's Hospital for all their help since.

Writing in his column in today's Irish Independent, Shefflin confirmed his six-year-old is "doing extremely well and continues to make progress".

"Deirdre, myself and our children will never be able to fully thank the countless number of people who have sent us so much support and prayers in recent weeks.

"Their kindness is so much appreciated," the 10-time All-Ireland winner wrote.
