On behalf of Mid Tipperary Board. I extend a hearty cead mile failte to one and all for our hurling showpiece here in Semple Stadium this evening. The teams taking part - Holycross and Loughmore - have reached this stage on merit and are very worthy contestants for highest honours in the Division. We look forward to those very keen rivals to provide a game in the best traditions of both clubs, a game to bring back memories of many epic finals in Mid Tipperary in former years, a sporting and manly game that will embrace all that is good in the game of hurling. We confidently look forward toa fitting climax to a well-contested and sportinq Mid championship, a game that will have a lasting impression, which will bring about a greater realisation of the value of the game of hurling, how it stands apart, ideally suited to the Celtic temperament as well as being conducive to discipline, self control and physical well-being. In conclusion, I thank all who helped in to-day's programme, all our clubs, referees and their officials, ticket sellers, gatemen, field committees and our ever loyal supporters. A special thanks to all our advertisers and our sponsors for this evening's final - Bank of Ireland Thurles, Gerry Chawke Clonmel and Derek and Eleanor O'Connell, Park Avenue House.
