Pat Ryan is confident that Cork’s outstanding All-Ireland U20 hurling final against Dublin or Galway will go ahead despite continuing uncertainty over when players can train again.

Tuesday’s government announcement of an easing of restrictions to allow for senior inter-county activity to resume from April 19 carried the addendum that this is “not including U20 or minor competitions”.
