Pat Ryan isn’t looking at the Cork hurling job as a three-year project, at the end of which he will have the county in a position to strike for Liam MacCarthy. Pat Ryan’s mindset is to try and take hold of Liam MacCarthy in year one of his tenure.

That’s according to former Cork forward Seanie McGrath who has been impressed by the county's winning start under the new manager.
