It is with great sadness that we have learned of the untimely passing of Neptune and Irish international basketball player, Liam Chandler.
The 18-year-old was a player of great character, talent and commitment, known in particular for his ability and skill under the boards. He played a huge part in Neptune’s Cup winning treble earlier this year and, on many occasions, wore the Irish jersey with pride at international tournaments and European Championships, most recently representing his country at Under 18 level in Tallinn, Estonia.
Everyone at Basketball Ireland would like to extend sincere condolences to Liam’s family, friends, club and teammates.
A few moments silence will be held in his memory at all basketball events this coming weekend.
May he rest in peace.
