Dubs won't get hump over Ryan loss

Dublin hurling boss Humphrey Kelleher is remaining positive about the future despite the loss of Shane Ryan to the county football team.

Kelleher says the silver lining to the unfortunate affair is that he now knows exactly what he has and hasn't got to work with this year.

"At least now I have closure on the situation with Shane and I can get on with working with the players I have," said Kelleher.

"At the end of the day Dublin hurling is bigger than any one individual."
