Longford then went onto win the relegation/playoff decider against Shelbourne.
In a statement to KCLR, Thomastown United Chairman Paul Doyle said ,
“Colm getting picked on the PFA Team of the Year hasn’t come as a surprise to anyone in Thomastown United. Always the professional Colm has always given 100% in trainings and games from a very young age and that carried through to Waterford Under 19’s and their Senior side and then this Season with UCD. We can only predict good things for Colm going forward and wish him well.”
