Ryan praises team character as Limerick show battling qualities

Laois 1-13 Limerick 1-17

The hosts led by 1-9 to 0-5 at half-time and were in no way flattered by that seven-point advantage. In fact they shot nine wides in that period of dominance.

And even though they tired in the final quarter, they will rue two missed goal chances in the second half.
