Ryan and Carey back in frame for Limerick

Tom Ryan and his former senior captain Ciaran Carey are returning to inter-county management with Limerick. Ryan has been proposed as the county’s new intermediate hurling team manager, with Carey set to take over the U21s for a second time.

Ryan was manager in 1994 and 1996 when Limerick contested All-Ireland senior finals. And three-time All Star Carey was captain when he scored a sensational winning point that ended Clare’s reign as Munster and All-Ireland champions in 1996.

Bar a stint with Limerick’s U16s in 1998, Ryan has been out of top level inter-county management with his native county since 1997.
