Ryan and Carey fail to regain Limerick roles

Limerick GAA chiefs have decided against re-appointing Brian Ryan as minor hurling boss — a week after he brought the county to the All-Ireland final.

And that isn’t the only managerial upheaval on Shannonside this week with Ciarán Carey set to be replaced at the U21 helm by former senior selector John Kiely.

Ryan’s two year term ended with that defeat by Kilkenny and though he was understood to be keen to remain in the role, board officials have instead opted for Leo O’Connor to take charge.
