Ryan’s hat in ring for Limerick job

FORMER coach Tom Ryan has said he is interested in taking over the Limerick senior hurling post following the sacking of David Keane after serving just one year of a two-year term.

Ryan, who took the Shannonsiders to two All-Ireland finals in 1994 and 1996 - they lost to Offaly and Wexford respectively - said: “Already four of the county’s most prominent senior hurling clubs have asked me to go forward and I will do that, and am proud to do so,” Ryan said.

“There is no doubt in my mind that the talent is in the county to win the All-Ireland.
