Steadfast Twomey keeps watchful eye on Model pupils

IT’S three weeks since the swarm of pupils and most of the staff emptied their lockers but Dom Twomey is still clocking in at Clonkeen College, creating new timetables and the like before taking his leave.

He is looking forward to it too. For the first time since the early 1970s, he won’t be devoting his summer to the playing fields of Ireland. But his Sundays will still revolve around football, albeit as a spectator, starting this weekend when Dublin and Wexford battle for a Leinster final spot.

Twomey has emotional shares in both sides having spent a year managing Wexford in 2003 after a spell as Tommy Carr’s right-hand man with the Dubs.
