Sharpshooter Ryan revels in Pallaskenry’s proud day

It was a hectic weekend for Colin Ryan.

Top scorer in last year’s All-Ireland senior hurling championship, on Sunday in Ennis, Ryan was introduced in the closing minutes of a tight Allianz Hurling League final round league game as 14-man Clare chased down a narrow Galway lead. And soon after he was called on to convert a 65m free to tie the match and gain top spot in the group for Clare.

Colin did the necessary, but pressure? For that, he says, you need to go to the previous day and a different game, the Masita All-Ireland Post-Primary Schools Senior C hurling final in Cashel.
