Career[edit]

After being a non-playing substitute on Cork's 1966 All-Ireland Minor Championship-winning team, he later won three successive All-Ireland Under-21 Championship titles between 1968 and 1970.[2] Tobin was drafted onto the Cork senior hurling team in 1968 and played a number of league and tournament games for Cork over the following few seasons, however, he failed to break onto the championship team.
