A loyal servant to the gorm agus bán of the 'Mines Liam also hurled for many years with Silvermines and testament to his huge popularity and the esteem he was held in were the crowds who turned out for Liam's removal on Saturday evening and again at his Funeral Mass on Sunday morningin Silvermines Church.
