Toome wait on O’Brien and Cummins

PAT HERBERT has a lot on his mind. Manager of Tipp champions Toomevara, the former Limerick star has some injury worries ahead of Sunday’s clash with Waterford champions Mount Sion.

“We won’t finalise our team until tomorrow, but our big worry is Paddy O’Brien, who has a hamstring problem. He hasn’t been able to play since the Ballyduff game and he’ll have a fitness test on Saturday. Kevin Cummins was also forced off during the Ballyduff game with a sore hamstring, so time is the factor, Sunday is coming a bit sooner than we wanted. Michael Bevins came through last weekend, as did John O’Brien, so that’s more positive at least.”

Herbert acknowledges Toomevara have come through a tough campaign.
