Ryan says tactics were changed after mid summer hammering by Gunners

DE LA Salle manager Michael Ryan made no bones about the secret to his side’s victory over Ballygunner in yesterday’s Waterford SHC final.

“We play a physical game because we have a big strong team,” said Ryan. “We have big men but they’re well able to hurl as well, and they showed that in the county final.”

It was an astonishing turnaround given his side had lost by 15 points to the same opponents during the summer.
