Jason Ryan lived in London for a good shot of his 20s. On Sunday afternoon, 25,392 paying customers spectated Ryan and his brilliant Ballygunner team. “I never heard them mention trying to be a great team or being seen as a great team, but they want to be the best that they can be. “You often hear about managers coming in, but in Ballygunner, the senior players create the environment and set the standards. The Ballygunner players deserve the credit for doing that.”
