Ryan ‘absolutely thrilled’ with fitness guru Flanagan

NEW Waterford senior hurling manager Michael Ryan says he is “absolutely thrilled” to have former Kerry physical trainer Pat Flanagan on his backroom team.

Flanagan was the highly-regarded trainer of several Kerry All-Ireland winning football teams, but he has now thrown in his lot with his native county.

“I’m more than happy to have Pat on board, I’m absolutely thrilled,” said Ryan yesterday.
