Ryan very confident title will be retained

CLARE SHC FINA:

All he knows is he will be 60 in 2014. He does remember, however, he definitely played in goals for Newmarket in their 1-11 to 1-5 win over Sixmilebridge in the Clare county final 37 years ago.

Sunday’s county final will be just the second final meeting between the Blues and the ’Bridge, but the Ryan link continues in the form of Christy’s nephew Colin, who is one of holders’ key men.
