The former Kilkenny superstar brought his Galway hurlers to Tullamore on Sunday.
Henry Shefflin believes Offaly hurling is on the right path despite his Galway side putting four goals on them before their match was abandoned.
The Galway manager watched on as a dense fog worsened to the point of the match officials decided to call off the game after 55 minutes.
Offaly manager Johnny Kelly had selected a number of bright prospects from the start including Charlie Mitchell who scored their only goal, as well as giving senior debuts to Donal Shirley and Adam Screeney.
Shefflin says he could tell the players had quality during the warm-up:
