Sportsfield Kilsheslan Spof1tsfield was ofiicrally opened on Sunday. August 31st, 1952, by 1he then President of the. Association. Mr. M. V. O'Oonoghue. Prior to the opening ceremony the new park was blessed 'by Very Rev. N. Power, P.'P. Kilsheelan Before the opening ceremonies, bands Jed a parade of Club members, officials and notables to the fi eld, where Mr. O'Donoghue was rintroduced to the large attendance by Sgt. P. J. Marron, President of the Club. In the course of his address, Mr. Q"Donoghue said-: "The strength of 1he ,Association lies not in 1he huge attendances in Dublin or elsewhere, nor in the magnificent arenas which have been constructed in 1he big centres, but in 11:00 clubs and our playing fields, without which the Association would indeed be a hollow one."

MERCK SHARPE & OOHME (IRELAND) LTD . • ...... -,; >------_._. __ ._.-._------_._._------, Founding of KiIsheelan G.A.A. Club The Club was founded in ~he summer of 1925. The first meeting of lhe- Club took place in Burke's field, near wher~ W. Geoghegan's house is now situated. The Chairman elected at ,this meeting was Jim Coffey and S:cretary Bill O'Keeffe; a Committee was also formed. The Club played their first game against Cahir in Junior football at Ctonmel. Players prominent in the Club at that time were Jerry and Tom O'Keeffe, Paddy Sullivan, Mick Strappe, John Cummins, Bill and Pat Larkin, John Hunt, Martin and Jimmy ILomrgan, IMick Morrissey, Mick and John Kehoe, James Fleming, Jim Buller, Ned Lonergan, Bill Pur cell, Lar Kehoe, Pat Furren, IDenis Cro1ty, Mick D ~mpsey. The late 20's and early 30's were glorious years in the Club's history. Th e team played 30 games during this period without defeat. In ,the early stages, sevEral fields were used by the Club for praotice. One was Brennan's field in Seskin; another field used was Stokes' field opposite The Ormonde I Stores; /lwo fields belonging to Burwes were used. one near Gambonsfield and the other on -the Waterford Road si de. In the early stages th ere was great interest in the fortu nes of 4he Club and, in fact, larQe crowds turned up to watch ~he players in training. In 1930 the Co. Senior Football Cham pionship was won; this was repeat.ed in 1933. Then came the long wait (35 years) until the title came back to Kilsheelan in 1968. This was followed in 1970 by a Sou'th title victory over to-day's rivals, Commercials. In 1972 the County final was again won, Ardfinnan being defeated in a great decider. T'he Club was also 10 the fore in Hurling, producing many fine, players and winning a number of Junior and Intermediate ~itles. In 1958, Tom Larkin brought back the first All-Ireland Senior Hurling medal to the Parish when he played at centre forward against Galway in the final. Othe-r fine hurlers to play for the Club were Philip Kehoe, ~he late percy Larkin (RLP.)- perhaps one of -the ,fin·est dual players ever to play for the Club-Paddy Hennessy, John Donovan, Billy Stokes 400 Coffey brothers. P. O'filalloran, Jim Morrissey, D. Keyes (R.I.P.) and, of course, the present inter-county hurling star James Kehoe started his career with Kilshe;elan . I ••••• (, ' = . -' -' ~ -... ------. ..

We showed very poor form earlier in the year when losing several games and failing to field learns on some occasions. However, Championship time brought about an improve ment. We had a good win over Fr. Sheehys In the lsi round. In the semi-final, against Felhard, we had a narrow 1-pol.,t win aller a pOor game. A good deal of training has been done In the meantime under Trainer T.l.arkln. The selectors, Sean Connolly. Phil O'Halloran and W. Robinson, have been in attendanCe and should be In a good position to field the best team for the final. The team has a nice blend of youth and experience. At least five players on the panel are In th~. under·21 category. Two of the longest serving players are Johnny O'Halioran and Dick Strang, who have about 50 years service to the Club between them. Juvenile Mfairs The Juvenile and under age players in the Club are looked alter by Bl1Jy Stokes and Sean Connolly. Local leagues In Hurllng and Football are held every year and every encouragement is given to young players to keep them participating in the games. The Club -are fortunate to have men of the calibre 01 the above·mentioned. who are dedicated to the task of keeping the games alive in the Parish. h ~ r· ~ CLONMEL COMMERCIALS F.C. Founded in 1932 as a Minor ,Football Club, Commercials won' its first Championship (the South -Minor title) in 1935. It graduated to Senior ranks in 1938, having won the South Junior Championship the previous year. It has since been a Senior Club and has won several Tlpperarymen's Cup com· petitions, South and County titles. It last won the South Championship In 1975, beating Fr. Sheehys, Clogheen, in the final. Having been beaten by host Club, Klisheelan, in South semi·flnal last year, We are more than hopeful of gaining compensation this year. We have only been beaten once in League, ·South and County championships throughout the year, and th,at w,as by Co. Champions, Galtee Rovers, In the CC)lmly seml·final. On our way to the final we beat Moyle Rovers after a re·play and MulIInahone, and are hopeful of gaining some compensation for our unlucky defeat In the County seml·flnal by carrying off Ihe South Championship, won by the Club on twelve previous occasions. l'~"-'''------'- ,------I I Before you buy your first IAfter the Match or I Next Car I I wJ:ay not quench your why nol give me a call?
