Ever since Semple Stadium was chosen as the venue for this years All-Ireland Hurling Finals, a wave of enthusiasm that was both infectious and ever·in­ creasing was everywhere to be found. The pre-match interest that was aroused not alone in our own country but in many foreign and distant lands was unbelievable. Thurles was the place where everybody wanted to be on that first Sunday in September.

A unique achieve­ ment was to follow in 1979 for most of the panel when they captured the Christian Brothers' primary schools County title for Knockavilla N.T. having entered the competition for the first time. As a result four of the side were chosen on the Co. Tipperary primary schools team that year. These successes were followed by similar successes in the u·14 and u·16 grades, being narrowly defeated in the latter county final by Eire 09 Nenagh after a hectic clash in 1982. The squad has maintained its form by winning the West title in the minor grade in this the Centenary year of the association, and today contests the club's first county minor final since they were defeated by Loughmore/ Castleiney in 1979. There are many links between the team of 1979 and the present panel, mainly through family representation.

  • History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary
    History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary. ‘Introduction’ What better way to begin an account of a Tipperary town than by referring to the following words of a poem called ‘Tipperary‘.In these lines, the poet ‘ Eva of the Nation‘ who was one of the Kellys of Killeen, Portumna,wrote: ‘O come for a while among us,and give us a friendly hand, And you‘ll see that old Tipperary is a loving and gladsome land; From Upper to Lower Ormond bright welcome and smiles will spring, On the plains of Tipperary,the stranger is like a king?‘ Yes, I think the words ring true,I`m sure, for us and about us,natives of this part of Irish soil?? It is about one particular spot ‘on the plains of Tipperary‘ that I wish to write, namely my home parish of Borrisokane?? . So I turn again to verse, which so often suggests things that mere prose cannot? In a book of poetry, ‘The Spirit of Tipperary‘ published many years ago by the Nenagh Guardian,we find a poem by Dermot F ?Gleeson who for many years was District Justice in Nenagh.He wrote under the pen-name ‘Mac Liag‘ . He writes as if from the top of Lisgorrif Hill looking down on the broad expanse of the two Ormonds with Lough Derg bordering them to the left? .The poem is simply called, ‘The place where I was born’ ‘O’er hill and mountain, vale and town, My gaze now wanders up and down, Anon my heart is filled with pride, Anon with memory’s gentler tide ‘ Of sorrow, until through them all The twilight whispers softly call From upland green and golden corn “It is the place where you were born”.

  • Tipperary News Part 6
    Clonmel Advertiser. 20-4-1822 We regret having to mention a cruel and barbarous murder, attended with circumstances of great audacity, that has taken place on the borders of Tipperary and Kilkenny. A farmer of the name of Morris, at Killemry, near Nine-Mile-House, having become obnoxious to the public disturbers, received a threatening notice some short time back, he having lately come to reside there. On Wednesday night last a cow of his was driven into the bog, where she perished; on Thursday morning he sent two servants, a male and female, to the bog, the male servant to skin the cow and the female to assist him; but while the woman went for a pail of water, three ruffians came, and each of them discharged their arms at him, and lodged several balls and slugs in his body, and then went off. This occurred about midday. No one dared to interfere, either for the prevention of this crime, or to follow in pursuit of the murderers. The sufferer was quite a youth, and had committed no offence, even against the banditti, but that of doing his master’s business. Clonmel Advertiser 24-8-1835 Last Saturday, being the fair day at Carrick-on-Suir, and also a holiday in the Roman Catholic Church, an immense assemblage of the peasantry poured into the town at an early hour from all directions of the surrounding country. The show of cattle was was by no means inferior-but the only disposable commodity , for which a brisk demand appeared evidently conspicuous, was for Feehans brown stout.

To win a county senior hurling medal Is possibly the second. Many people would reverse these and argue, as I do, that the winning 01 a county senior hurling title by a parish does more, much more, for the parish spirit and pride than an All-Ireland. Two teams have the chance to raise the spirits to high heavens In their respective parishes today. One, 01 necessity must lose out and hopelully theirs wilt be another day. I hope that todays programme will serve as a suitable souvenir of the occasion lor both players and spectators.
