Ryan happy Limerick still in control of their own destiny

For TJ Ryan, it was all a bit déjà vu. Last year Limerick also started out with a must-win game down in Cork and ended up with a draw.

In other ways though this was a lot different. Not one of the Limerick attack that started in Croke Park last August played up front on Saturday night. Throw all that into the mix and he wasn’t unhappy, whatever about happy, with his lot.

“The second-half performance was encouraging. All around the pitch we won a lot of the battles. The disappointing thing was when we went ahead we’d like to have held on but everything is still in our hands, a bit like it was last year. I think there might be one or two more twists in this league yet. But we’re still in control of our destiny.”
