Ryan: New boss will have hard act to follow

Dublin hurling star Liam Ryan insists the new Blues boss will have a considerable set of boots to fill - but says he'll inherit a team primed for success.

Ryan believes whoever gets the nod to succeed ex-manager Kevin Fennelly will have their work cut out for them.

But the influential centre-back said: "We beat Waterford in the league last year and that was a massive win for us.

"It was the same Waterford that went on to beat the All-Ireland champions Tipperary, and win the Munster title. It just proved to us that we must be doing something right."
