It has been confirmed that TJ Ryan is no longer the Limerick senior county team hurling manager. 

Ryan agreed to a three-year arrangement back in 2014 on the back of an impressive run to the All-Ireland semi-final, but will not see out the final year of it. 

That means Sunday's All-Ireland Qualifier defeat to Clare was his last match in charge of the Shannonsiders. 

Ryan said after the game that he had "brought the team has far as he could", and on Monday the Limerick County Board released a statement confirming his departure. 

It stated: “CLG Coiste Contae Luimní would like to confirm that TJ Ryan has informed the Officers of CLG Coiste Contae Luimní that he will not be going forward as Limerick senior hurling manager for the 2017 season.

“CLG Coiste Contae Luimní would like to thank TJ for his commitment and time given over his three-year term as Limerick senior hurling manager. We would also like to wish TJ and his family the very best into the future.”
