Seán Tobin (born 18 December 1989) is an Irish hurling coach and former player. In a career that spanned three decades he lined out at club level with Murroe-Boher and at inter-county level with the Limerick senior hurling team.
Career
[edit]Murroe-Boher
[edit]After coming to hurling prominence as a student at CBS Sexton Street, Tobin later lined out in the Fitzgibbon Cup with the Limerick Institute of Technology while simultaneously joining Murroe-Boher's top adult club team. In 2017, he won a Premier Intermediate Championship title after top-scoring with 1-10 in a 1-21 to 1-15 replay defeat of Garryspillane.[1] On 9 June 2021, Tobin announced his retirement from the club game at the age of 31 because of injury.[2]
Limerick
[edit]Tobin first played for Limerick as a member of the minor team on 24 June 2007. He was held scoreless in a 0–12 to 3–21 Munster semi-final defeat by Tipperary.[3] Over the following three years he was a regular with the Limerick under-21 team, however, his side enjoyed little success during that period.
Tobin made his senior debut for Limerick in a 2–09 to 0–06 league defeat of Clare on 13 February 2011.[4] He became a regular throughout the group stage games and ended the campaign with a Division 2 winners' medal following a 4–12 to 2–13 defeat of Clare in the final.[5] Tobin contributed 1-01 during that game.
On 12 June 2011, Tobin made his senior championship debut in a 3–15 to 3–14 Munster semi-final defeat by Waterford.[6]
In 2013, Tobin won a Munster Championship medal following a 0–24 to 0–15 victory over Cork.[7]
In March 2016, Tobin left the Limerick senior team citing a lack of game time under manager T. J. Ryan as his primary reason.[8][9]
