Ryan may miss Clare clash

LIMERICK have been dealt a blow in advance of Saturday’s All-Ireland senior hurling qualifier against neighbours Clare in Ennis with captain TJ Ryan looking certain to miss the game.

County board secretary James Hartigan confirmed yesterday that the Garryspillane player went over on an ankle in training and is undergoing treatment. “At this stage it looks as if TJ will be out for Sunday”, said Hartigan.

Limerick beat Dublin in a challenge at the weekend, with the sides pencilled in to meet again at the Gaelic Grounds in the third round of the qualifiers.
