Limerick will keep faith in boss TJ Ryan

Limerick chairman Oliver Mann insists that TJ Ryan’s position as senior hurling manager is not up for discussion at tonight’s county board meeting.

Ryan was handed a three-year term shortly after the narrow loss to Kilkenny in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final and despite their “disappointing” championship exit against Dublin on Saturday evening, Mann stressed there is “no managerial vacancy” to be filled.

The county board executive met last night to discuss the fallout from a forgettable weekend for the county where both the Limerick senior and minor hurling teams were defeated in Thurles.
