ALL-Ireland winning Limerick hurler Brian Ryan is in action for Na Fianna this Saturday night against Kilcormac Killoughey in the Leinster senior hurling final in Croke at 7:40pm.

Na Fianna have defeated Clough Ballacolla and St Martins in the Leinster championship.

The former Limerick hurler  was previously part of the Limerick senior hurling panel where he received gametime during the National League campaigns in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, Brian Ryan was part of the extended Limerick senior hurling panel that went onto to win the All-Ireland title. 

Last year, Na Fianna won the Dublin senior hurling championship for the first time. The north Dublin club won back to back Dublin SHC titles for the first time in their club's history. 

Brian Ryan impressed in their county final victory where he scored 0-2 from midfield against Kilmacud Crokes. The Mobhi road based club went all the way to the Leinster final last year where they were narrowly defeated by O'Loughlin Gaels. 

Na Fianna will be looking to go one step further than last year. Niall Ó Ceallacháin is currently in charge of Na Fianna. Ó Ceallacháin will take charge of the Dublin senior hurlers in 2025. 

Brian's father Brian has been manager of the Univeristy of Limerick Fitzgibbon Cup team in recent seasons.
