The Pallasgreen man doubled up his All-Ireland win with Limerick a few weeks ago by retaining the Poc Fada title

COLIN Ryan is M Donnelly All-Ireland Poc Fada champion for a third time following victory at Annaverna Mountain in Cooley Peninsula, Louth.

The Pallasgreen clubman was sub keeper for John Kiely’s Limerick side in their victory over Galway at Croke Park a couple of weeks ago and has now retained the Poc Fada crown.

Ryan won the title for the first time since 2021 last year. He finished runner-up in the three years that followed before winning once again.

It has been a busy few weeks for Ryan. In between trips to Croke Park and the Cooley Mountains, he played a key role in Pallasgreen’s victory over neighbours Cappamore in the Nick Grene Intermediate Hurling Championship on Thursday evening.
