Cork ladies board in dark over Eamonn Ryan switch to men’s team

A leading Cork Ladies Football Board official has described speculation linking senior boss Eamonn Ryan with a switch to the men’s team as “a bolt out of the blue”.

Ryan could be set to link up with Peadar Healy’s new Cork men’s senior set-up, a move that would leave the ladies senior football team with a massive void to fill.

Ryan has presided over 10 All-Ireland senior football crowns since 2005 and it had been expected he would remain in charge for the 2016 campaign.
