When he finished playing in 1965, Liam continued to serve his beloved Roscrea club as a groundsman, caretaker and selector with various teams, including the County Junior winning team of 1986 Liam never knew how to say no and at the time of his death was Vice-President of the Club as well as a member of the Lotto committee, rarely missing a Tuesday night in the Pavilion to check tickets. To Anna and the Carson family, we extend our deepest sympathy. Ar dheis De Raibh a Anam. Courtesy of the Midland Tribune 22nd November 2006 We were shocked to hear of the sudden death of Liam. Involved with Inane since its foundation in 1950 Liam represented the club with distinction. Winner of several North Tipp Junior Championship, he had the honour of captaining Inane to their first championship in 1952. Later Liam was a member of the 1961 County Junior winning team. He also won three senior county championships with St. Flannan's. Since his retirement from playing Liam remained an active and dedicated member of the club.
