Colin Holmes (Gaelic footballer)
Colin Holmes is a Gaelic footballer for Tyrone. He was on the Tyrone panel for their first ever All-Ireland Senior Football Championship win in 2003 and repeated the feat in 2005, appearing as a sub in both finals. He also started in the 2008 final at midfield.
Playing career
Club
Although he plays for Tyrone, Holmes teaches in County Armagh and therefore plays his club football for Armagh Harps where he is club captain.[2]
Inter-county
Holmes has been a long-standing member of the Tyrone panel, and his versatility has meant he is normally an important member of the panel although his career has often been blighted by numerous injuries.[3][4] He has won honours with the county at youth and senior level, including the 1993 Ulster Minor Championship as well as four Ulster Senior Championship medals and three All-Ireland Championship medals.
As of 2008 he remains a member of the Tyrone panel for the upcoming National League campaign.[5]
