Kilkenny sharpshooter TJ Reid says he's a "very different" player than Henry Shefflin.

Further comparisons between Reid and Shefflin were drawn after the former's superb Allianz League final display against Tipperary last Sunday at Nowlan Park, where he struck a decisive 0-15.

Speaking at the launch of the GAA Super Games Centre in partnership with Sky Sports yesterday, Reid stated: "It's great to be up there with Henry, obviously he was my idol that I tried to mimic him as much as I could. Look, I'm not Henry Shefflin, I'm my own player, I'm very different than Henry.

"I'm just performing and leading my team as best as I can. There's no pressure. I'm just going out enjoying my game and doing what I do best and that's hurling. And that's about winning ball, winning dirty ball and that's what I'm about.

"It's obviously nice to hear those things and it's nice to sense that and know that you're doing something right. It does help your confidence as well when you do hear people talking like that but look, you put that to bed fairly quickly because you're only as good as your last game."
