James Ryan, aged 20 from Carryspillane. Looks like hes in his late 30s. Good solid hurler, a minor centre forward from 2005. Plays with Limerick footballers too.

Kevin Ryan, aged circa 22 from Na Piarsaigh. Talented wing forward who impressed last week.

James Ryan is actually 21, had the 21st recently. He has the same birthday as me, I`m 10 years older, but I claim that I`m the one thats 21 and hes the one thats 31! Midfield is his best position but the minors were playing him at centre forward in 05. He is a lot more mobile now than he was then, probably due to the football training for the past two years. He played on the Limerick under 21 hurlers as a 17 year old in 2004, having played a massive part in beating the Kilmallock `Allstars` in the 2003 under 21 county final when he was still under 16.

Kevin Ryan was a 04 minor. I have been watching him for a long time and I have always rated him. He got a good few scores in the County under 21 final of 04. In fact I discussed him from time to time with his father without realising that he was his son. Good job I didnt say anything negative.

ya kevin impressed me enough against gerldines last year, has a lot of the atributes that make a good wing forward

good to hear james has become a bit more mobile,

played with him in school and it always seemed that his strength was his main asset when he was twice the size of the fella marking him

i never thought he`d make a senior county hurler thought he`d fade away and lose out because of his hurling ability when fellas caught up with him in size.. but would be delighted to be proved wrong..

Was at it. Tipperary won 2-18 to 2-12 and the scores came easier to them. Seamus Callinan must have scored 1-4 from play

Centre back is a problem. Damien Reale and Seamus Hickey were the pick of the bunch. James Ryan hurled very well at centrefield and Ollie Moran did well. Lawlor looked hungry and hurled well when he was on the field in the first half but if the man rounds him, he wont catch him. Kevin Ryan should have been given more gametime.

Team: Dave Bulfin, Damien Reale, Damien Cosgrove, Kieran O`Rourke, Peter Lawlor, Paudie O`Dwyer, Seamus Hickey, James Ryan, Kevin Tobin, Kevin Ryan, Seanie O`Connor, Ollie Moran, Mike Fitz, Niall Moran, Eoin Ryan. Subs: Andrew O`Shaughnessey, Mike O`Brien, Donie Ryan and Mark Foley for Kevin Ryan, Peter Lawlor, Eoin Ryan and Mike Fitz at half time. Michael Noonan, Dodge and Barry Foley went on in the second half.
