Ryan reliving every Limerick moment

It started again for Limerick manager TJ Ryan this week. The sleepless nights, the tossing and turning as he went over again and again in his head every little detail for Sunday’s Munster final against Cork.

“When you’re involved in something, entangled deep into something, you do have these nights,” he said.

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s work or sport or whatever you’re involved in, when you put the head on the pillow at night and you’re picking teams. I’m driving through villages and I don’t remember it because you’re trying to move fellas from corner-forward to wing-forward. That might sound funny but I think anybody who has got involved in that it happens. Us as a backroom team, we’d be hard on ourselves, maybe looking for little edges all the time so big pressure.
