Liam Ryan (Limerick hurler)

Liam Ryan (1936 - 27 May 2015) was an Irish hurler who played as a left wing-forward for the Limerick senior team.

Ryan made his first appearance for the team during the 1955 championship and played intermittently for the team over the course of the next six seasons. During that time he won one Munster winners' medal. He was captain on that occasion and remains the youngest Munster final-winning captain.

At club level, Ryan was a three-time county championship winners' medalist with his local Cappamore club.

Playing career

Club

Ryan played his club hurling with the Cappamore club and enjoyed much success in a brief club championship career.

He spent four years with the Cappamore minor hurling team, winning two East Limerick championship titles, however, the club narrowly missed out on a county minor title on both occasions.

By this stage Ryan had already lined out for Cappamore's top team. He was barely sixteen when he won a county junior championship winners' medal in 1952. His inclusion on the team was as a result of a shortage of players.
