In welcoming everyone here this evening, players, referee, officials and supporters I hope we will have a very enjoyable and thrilling climax to OUT Mid Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship. Bohcrlahan-Duallil and Loughmore-Castleincy have come through the championship in flying style and arc deserving finil lists.

Best wishes to Bol1f'rJalwll-Dllalla p""" An Reiteoir Senior Hurli ng Final Jim O'Shea J.K. Brackens Jim O'Shea will, this evening, referee his first Senior hurling final. One of the most experienced referees in the division, Jim first started refereeing in 1985 and has refereed at all grades, divisional and coun ty. He admits the highlight of his refereeing career was the famous County u/21 A Football final played at Littleton, Aherlow v. Nenagh Eire 6g - a game that was seen worldwide on video with Aherlow's famous son F. Eddie giving the commentary. "F. Eddie called me evrything but a referee on that day, but we're very good friends since that famous game". Jim, during his playing days, won honours at football with his club, Eire 6g, Templemore and divisional and county level. Jim is hoping to see a good hard game of hurling of high quality and may the best team win. Jim is former secretary of Referees at divisional level and would encourage morc young people to take up the whistle. He pays special tribute to his umpires and linesmen today - Ollie Adlum, Gar O'Shea, Billy Fennell, Jimmy Harkins, MI. Greene and P. J. Leahy - and to all other umpires and referees in the division for all their help over the years. Outside of sport, Jim is a member of the F. C. A. formany years and has won honours at Munster and All-Ireland level on the shooting range. Married to Tina, the couple have one daughter Aisling. We wish Jim, a Telecom official, every success tonight.

Board was founded in 1907 but Boherlahan, as a club, did not come into existence until 1912. It's first chairman was Tommy O'Dwyer whose grandson Tommy is a valued member of the present Bohcrlahan side. Though Boherlahan contested the Mid final in 1912 they were defeated by the Thurlcs"Blues" but in the following year, 1913, they defeated The Jockey 5·4 to }·o for their first Mid title. The only direct con tact between that team of 85 years ago and the present squad is T. J. O'Dwyer whose grand-uncle Rody O'Dwyer was a member of the original Mid final winners. • Boherlahan won successive Mid titles lip until 1919 except for 1915 when our club opted into the south division and took the county title as well as the south title that year. Boherlahan again opted for the south division dur· ing the decade 1924 to 1934 so their next mid success was 1941 when Philly O'Dwyer led a team powered by Mahers, Coffeys, O'Dwyers and Loobys to mid and county success.
