Tomás eyes November comeback

HEARTBROKEN Tomás O’Leary insists he’ll be close to competitive action by November.

The Munster and Ireland star missed out on the Heineken Cup semi-final and the Lions tour to South Africa after suffering an horrific ankle injury in April against the Scarlets in the Magners League.

O’Leary, at the Fitzgerald’s Vienna Woods Hotel in Cork yesterday where he picked up the Glanmire and District Sports award for April, said he was confident of making a quicker-than-expected recovery from an injury that saw him not only break an ankle but suffer a dislocation and severe ligament damage.
