He played hurling with his local club Glen Rovers and was a member of both the Cork and Dublin senior inter-county teams in the 1930s and 1940s.

Playing career

Tobin joined the Glen Rovers senior team in 1937 and won the first of five successive county senior championship titles that year. Renowned as a high goal-scoring forward, he claimed a further two winners' medals in 1944 and 1945.

Having never played at inter-county underage or junior levels, Tobin was drafted onto the Cork senior team during the 1940 Munster Championship. He was dropped from the team the following year before being reinstated in 1942. Tobin claimed a Munster Championship medal that year before lining out at left corner-forward in the All-Ireland final defeat of Dublin. [1][2]

Tobin, who was a soldier in the Irish Army, married Brigid Kavanagh in St. Finbarr's South Church on 16 August 1941. The couple had four daughters and fours sons, one of whom died in childhood. The family emigrated to London in the late 1950s.
