Ryan in the running as Déise begin manager hunt

WATERFORD GAA chiefs last night began interviewing candidates to manage the county senior hurlers in 2011.

A high-powered committee will this week hear from outgoing boss Davy Fitzgerald, former Kilkenny star Eddie O’Connor, ex-Carlow and Mount Sion manager Jim Greene and the current De La Salle boss Michael Ryan.

Ryan, who has enjoyed unparalleled success with the county’s ladies footballers, predicts a bright future for Waterford hurling if the up-and-coming talent is ‘handled properly.’
