Pat Ryan has taken two weeks off from his day job as he strives to steer Cork to the All-Ireland SHC summit for the first time in 19 years.

The Rebel boss took time off from his post in Pfizer last week in preparation for their epic semi-final battle with Limerick, and he is off again this week as his charges count down the days to their final showdown with Clare on Sunday week, July 21.
