Ballyboden St Enda's have declared Paul Ryan fit for Sunday's Dublin SHC 'A' final against Cuala in Parnell Park (4.30).
The Dublin forward had to be replaced in the 58th minute of the semi-final victory over Na Fianna immediately after converting a late penalty to wrap up victory for his side.
Ryan's accuracy from deadball and play has been central to Boden's run to Sunday's decicer - he is their top scorer in this year's SHC 'A' with a tally of 4-43 (0-6 v Kilmacud Crokes; 1-9 v Scoil Uí Chonaill; 1-11 v Craobh Chiaráin; 1-9 v St Vincent's; 1-8 v Na Fianna).
“He cramped up, just after he hit the penalty, and he went down. Again, he’s 100 per cent for Sunday and will definitely play,” confirmed Boden manager Joe Fortune.
The Firhouse Road outfit have been further boosted with the return to fitness of former Dublin player Shane Durkin.
“Shane just had a small tendon issue, but he has recovered well,” added Joe, “and now Shane is raring to go."
