Busy Toome braced for fierce Erin’s Own battle

THESE are busy times for Toomevara GAA PRO Tommy Shanahan.

This Sunday the club contests its fifth Munster club final of the last 13 years, facing Cork champions Erin’s Own in the Gaelic Grounds, Limerick, while tomorrow evening, Toomevara launches an ambitious development programme for the next couple of years.

On and off the field then, Tommy is fielding the questions. First up, is tomorrow’s launch which will be performed by Tomás Mulcahy, the former All-Star from Cork, at 8.30 pm, in the parish hall. Phase 1 of the plan will cost about €700,000, and will consist of new dressing-rooms, state-of-the-art facilities including physiotherapy rooms, hydrotherapy rooms and catering areas.
