Pat Ryan rules himself out of Waterford job due to work and family commitments

Pat Ryan won’t be the new Waterford senior hurling manager despite speaking to some of the 2018 panel last week.

Work and family commitments are understood to have prevented the 42-year-old from taking over from Derek McGrath, who stepped down last month. The Sarsfields man was heavily fancied for the role and he had the backing of members of the Waterford executive with bookmakers suspending betting on him being appointed after a flurry of bets.
