Liam Mathers was fairly certain he’d broken his collarbone long before it was confirmed by the X-rays.
The bone noticeably jutting out and pushing up on the skin was a pretty clear indication of the damage sustained. The injury itself was “rough”, the 21 year-old tells the ECHO, but it also came at a crucial point in the Gaelic football season.
The architecture student is the president of the Liverpool John Moores Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) men’s football team, the most successful university outfit in Britain. Last year they cleaned up, winning both the British championship and the all-Ireland Corn na Mac Leinn title.
