Ryan says players deserved more
May 05, 2008
Kildare Under 21 football supremo Glenn Ryan believes that his charges deserved more for their efforts in 2008 than a runners-up spot in the championship.
Ryan saw his players lose their All-Ireland final to Kerry by 0-11 to 2-12 but, afterwards, was full of praise for the quality of their football.
"These lads have been great all year," Ryan commented. "I feel they deserved more for what they put in but sometimes you don't always get what you deserve.
"Those goals were the difference today. A lot of people throughout the country and even in our own county have underestimated this team and said we got a soft Leinster.
"They haven't got the credit they deserve for the type of football they played."
