So Liam, what did you say to the team before they took the field?
'Can we ask the children to leave the room' . . . . Liam managed the Tipp team who wrestled the Liam McCarthy Cup from the Mighty Cats in Sept 2010. He took some time to drop by the club and talk to our juvenile players and parents, a surprising number sporting the famous blue and gold. And our lads had lots of questions . . . Usain Bolt, Patrick Bonner Maher, Shane McGrath, Galway, I can't go there . . . a gentleman and a scholar without doubt and a nice treat for Syls, maith thú Liam.
And, of course, Liam's message was pretty clear . . . .
- Years of honest hard work
- Absolute belief and commitment
- Organization
And some of our lads sitting around listening can achieve the same goals - we have 12 year olds who already have 6 or 7 years hurling in them, who train twice a week, who have committed mentors and all the attributes . . .
Many thanks Liam!
