Ta suil a9am go mbainfidh 9ath einne taitneamh as an cluiche agus go mbeidh cluiche saruil agus sp6rtuil againn. In welcoming everyone here this evening - players, referee, officials and you, the supporters, I am confident that we will have a fitting climax to our Mid Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship. Both teams have earned their right to contest this final and there can be no doubt but that the best two teams in the Mid Division have made it to this evenings final. In recent years, -Castleiney have had the better of the exchanges with the Sarsfields. But that will count for nothing when the ball is let loose by referee Willie Clohessy at 6.45 p.m. It has the makings of a keenly contested final but. as always, between these two clubs, played in true sporting fashion. I wish to thank all our sponsors for their generous sponsorship, with a special word of thanks to Donal and Rose Younge, The Ragg, who are our main spon­ sors. A word of thanks also to the Semple Stadium Management Committee for their arrangements for this evening's final.

For many other players, this kind of commitment would be just too great - not for Carroll though who was on the Sanfjelds teams which won Mid titles in 1993 and 1996.
