Emly is Ihe referee for to-day's sen ior final and i.!. prob3bly the rno~t experienced referec in the county. He staned refereei ng back in 1976 and has refereed fit13 ls in 311 grades since then. Hb refereeing career ineludes schools and interfiml games. as well as cl ub and intercounty. At the intercounty level he has refereed two senior All- Irclands. in 1990 and 1995. Looking bnck fro m the present he regards the eh.ulie Redmond incident in the latter All-Ireland as the funn iest moment in his refereei ng career.. he was in charge of a mi nor football All- Ireland in 1989 and a R:lilwltY Cup in 2005. he has also refereed four Mun~ l er fin:ll.!.. He got involved in refereeing very simply. He was asked by his club to allend a juvenile refereeing course in 1976 and the re~t is history. He has an imeresting comment on the cri t ici~m of referees. which i~ widespre:ld. The best refen.:es arc those who never refereed a match of any ki nd. which is why J take all their critical comments to heart. Married to Margaret. the couple have two boys. Shane and Mark.

Armvale Rovers. page 6 COUNTY SENIOR FOOTBALL FINAL PREYIEW BY JACKIE CA 1-11 LL OF THE TIPPERARY YO ICE A record 22nd title for Fethard or a ~jxlh for SOluh rivals Moyle Rovers? All will be revealed this afternoon when lhe local rivals lock horn:, for Ihe second lime this season - and for the very first lime in a county senior football final. Rovers defeated Fcthard in September's South final bu t the loscr~ had to play much of that game with 14 men and a much lighter affair i ~ predicted at Cashers resplendent Leahy Park today. Four Moyle Rovers players - former Allstar Dcclan Browne, Liam Cronin. Robbie Bo land and team captain James Williams - are each chasing a sixth county senior medal. The quartet played key roles in the club's five previous successes in 1995, 1996, 1998. 1999 and 2000. Indeed. Browne was goalkeeper on the 1995 team when they made that historic breakthrough and the evergreen Cronin captained the 2000 vintage. Since their last success seven years ago. Rovers have fallen twice at the final hurdle. beaten by Loughmore-Castleiney in 200-1- and Aherlow in 2006. On this very ground 12 months ago. Rovers were demol ished by Aherlow on a 2- 10 to 0-5 scoreline but the tables were turned last weekend as Declan Browne's late point secured a hard fought victory for Rovers as the West champions were det hroned. Fethard. meanwhile. are back in the final for the firs t time !.i nce last winning the competition. against Aherlow in 200 1. With 21 titles to their credit. Fethard arc far and away the most successful club in the hi story of the Ti pperary senior football champiol1!.hip. with CIon mel Commercials trailing in their wake wi th fourteen. Incidental ly. today's encounter is the firs t all-SolLth decider since Moyle Rovcrs defeated Cion mel Commercials in the 1999 decider. It could be an historic day for Moyle Rovers as their minors prepare to do battle with Arravale Rovers at 1.15pm. an attractive curtain-raiser to what promises to be an in tense senior game. (3.0pm) Two senior panellisls - Kieran Kenrick and Tipperary's All-Ireland minor hurling medallist Sean Carey - wi ll line oul for the minors but il is highly unlikely that either player wilt be asked to playa part in the senior game which follows. Fethard, meanwhile. have regrouped well after losing the South fi nal and their comprehensive 3-9 to 0-7 semi-final victory over Thomas McDonaghs was a vast improvement on previous outings. And so the scene is set. Will it be a seasonal c halllpi on~hip double for Rovers against their divisional rivals. or sweet revenge for Fethard? Sixty minutes will tell alt.
