Liam Collins (born 2003) is an Irish hurler. At club level he plays with Cappataggle and at inter-county level with the Galway senior hurling team. Collins usually lines out as a forward.
Collins first played hurling and Gaelic football as a schoolboy at Garbally College where he won a Connacht SBFC title in 2022.[1] He later won an All-Ireland freshers' title as a student at the University of Galway in 2023.[2] By this stage, Collins had already joined the Cappatagle senior team.[3]
Collins first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Galway minor hurling team that won a record fourth successive All-Ireland MHC title in 2020.[4] He was the team's top scorer with 3-14 and was later named GAA Minor Star Hurler of the Year.[5] Collins immediately progressed onto the Galway under-20 hurling team and came on as a substitute when they were beaten by Cork in the 2002 All-Ireland under-20 final.[6]
Collins made his senior team debut against Wexford during the 2023 National League.[7]
