Football ace marries his long-term sweetheart  KERRY
football star Tomás Ó Sé and his long-time sweetheart
Hillary Nic Eoin have married — although they didn’t tell
their families until the last minute.
Only the couple, their two-year-old son Micheál and witnesses Aodan
Mac Gearailt and his fiancée Janet Ryan were in Killarney registry
office for the ceremony last week.
Hillary phoned her mother Ann Nic Eoin just before they tied the knot.
All-Ireland winner Tomás is understood to have sent text messages
to his family and close friends.
Along with the witnesses and Micheál the 29-year-old couple celebrated
at a private dinner in a Cork hotel.
Aodan Mac Gearailt is a life-long friend and plays for the Gaeltacht football
team with Tomás.
Ann Nic Eoin said she was delighted for her daughter and new son-in-law.
“They’re a lovely couple and I know they’ll be very
happy together,” she said.
Tomás — one of three footballing brothers who received All-Star
awards last year — is a teacher at a school in Fermoy in Co. Cork.
Hillary is a secondary teacher at Mount Mercy College in Cork.
The couple did not go on a Kerry team holiday to the US after Christmas
prompting speculation among some team members that something might be
afoot.
“Tomás is a fairly shy man who eschews the limelight. Anybody
that knows him well won’t be surprised to learn that he opted to
get married in as low-profile a manner as possible,” said one player.
Tomás and Hillary have known each other since their teens. |
