On behalf of Coiste Thiobraid Arann Thiar, I extend a cead mile failte to everyone here at the match tonight. I expect an enjoyable sporting game and you can contribute to this by co-operating with the stewards and making sure that __-" your children also keep a safe distance from the field of play. This is the showpiece of our hurling year, and there are many young players on both teams. They need your encouragement and support and hopefully some will yet wear the blue and gold with distinction and help to bring the premier county the All-Ireland success which has eluded us over the past number of years. I must also thank our loyal sponsors Tipperary Co-Op Super Valu.They are a successful Company and their support for GAA activities over a long number of years in West Tipperary and beyond is well known. I also in return ask our patrons to support the various enterprises of the Co-Op. I thank the management for their help, especially general manager Tim Dullea,Vice Chairman Matt Quinlan and the Board sends best wishes for a speedy recovery to thei r Chairman Sean Murray. We wish the Co-Op Continued success in the years ahead. I wish Willie Barrett and his officials well this evening. It's an honour for the Board to have a referee of his experience and calibre officiating at this final. The curtain-raiser is the JHC 'A' game between Kickhams and Rockwell Rovers and this should be a close game. I wish Francis Kearney and his officials well in this game. On an evening like this we should spare a thought for the other clubs which participated in our senior championship. Their officials and players also worked hard. but did not make it to the final-beidh 13. eile ag an bPaorach.We hope that the winners and runners up this evening as well as the Combo will later make a realistic effort to bring the Dan Breen Cup back after a long absence again to the West. Finally. I wish to thank the Golden club for providing excellent facil ities for this final. A word of thanks also to Seamus King, Lennie Fitzgerald, Michael MCCarthy and the Runai Jerry Ring for their contribution to this programme. Liam 6 Riain.
