"From underneath the shadow of Sarsfield's Rock came Larry Beary. Knockane was a noted football stronghold when Larry was playing and he was on the Knockane team which won South Junior honours in 1951. With neighbouring Pallasgreen, he won East Junior and Minor medals, and he was Club Treasurer from 1953 to 1955. He occupied the same position with St. Mary's of London and played both codes with Brian Borus. Treaty Gaels, a Limerick based emigrants club in London won his backing, and for some years he was involved in the Limerickmen's Association in London." © Limerick Leader
