Winning feeling all over again for Ryan

SEVEN years ago Liam Ryan was in Croke Park to witness his native Newtownshandrum enjoy their greatest day by lifting the Tommy Moore Cup and claim All-Ireland club SHC honours.

On Sunday he was immersed in another momentous Croke Park occasion by guiding Meelin to the All-Ireland JHC club title.

Ask him to rate the victories and he’s torn but it’s clear that his Newtownshandrum experiences informed him when it came to preparing Meelin on this occasion.
