The 16-year-old bagged a bronze in table tennis at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium, the birthplace of the Paralympics, to add to the silver he won in table cricket last year.

But the Humberston School pupil, who trains at Grimsby Leisure Centre, feels he may have to wait his turn for a shot at Games glory.

He said: "I'm excited about 2012 but I don't know if I'll be involved in it at this stage. I'll have to wait and see. I'll certainly be watching it on television and supporting the team. I'm sure it is going to be a big success.

"It's going to be a huge event for this country and competing here gives me a taste of that excitement.

"This year I was very pleased to get my table tennis bronze. This is my third time and I've loved every minute of it. It's very special and I'm determined to come back to the stadium again next year to win more medals."

Liam was one of 300 children from more than 25 schools competing at the multi-sport event in Buckinghamshire.

And the Louth teenager revealed watching Britain's Paralympians storm to medal glory in Beijing has only spurred on his dream of reaching the Games in the future.

He said: "I watched a little of the Paralympics this summer and it was really inspiring to see the success in China.

"I would have liked to see more of it to be honest but I was at school for a lot of the time, but it really made me want to take part one day."
