This Ballygunner group hasn’t reached as many All-Ireland club finals as they believe themselves capable of, boss Jason Ryan has said.

Having fallen at the semi-final hurdle on three of the last four occasions they emerged out of Munster since 2018, the current Ballygunner crop banished plenty of old demons to secure only the club’s second-ever All-Ireland final appearance.
