  ## Career
  
  From the St. Patrick's club, Cobbe first came to prominence on the inter-county scene with the Limerick junior team that overcame London to win the 1955 All-Ireland Junior Championship. Promotion to the senior side followed, with Cobbe lining out in the forwards when Limerick surprised Clare to win the 1955 Munster Championship. The team, labelled "Mackey's Greyhounds" after their trainer Mick Mackey, were subsequently beaten by eventual champions Wexford in the All-Ireland semi-final. Cobbe continued playing for Limerick until the 1960s, by which time he had also won two Railway Cup medals with Munster.
