• Although the County Board declared Fethard the first county football chart:lP­ ion in 1887 yet for some reason were allowed to represent Tipperary in the All- Championship of that year. * In 1920 Fethard brought the last All-Ireland Senior Football vitory to Tipperary, In that year they beat in the final, which began one hour late because of the late arrival of both team. * Between 1917 & 1924 Fethard won seven county finals in a row, no final was played in 1921. The following players took part in these memorable victories: Ned O'Shea, John O'Shea, Ned Cummins, Gust McGrath, Jer. Phelan, Ned Connolly Tom Tubridy, Jim Gorman, Tom Hogan, Jack Delaney, Mick Gunn, Con Fitzgerald, Dan Mullins, John Weston, Jack Brett. Reserves: Tom Mackey, Dick Mackey, Tom1 Conway . .. In 1934 Dick Allen was the first Fethard man to be picked on a Munster Senior Football team and wore the royal blue jersey of Munster for the next six years . .. The 1955 County football final, in which Loughmore·Castleiney beat Arravale, was played at Cashe!. .. When Loughmore-Castleiney defeated Fethard in the 1983 final at eashel the victorious side was: J. Kiely, T. Ryan, M. Kiely, S. Fogarty, P. Treacy, M. Meahger, E. Brennan, G. Stapleton, T. McGrath, M. McGrath, P. McGrath, J. Cormack, P. Brennan, J. Treacy, M. Walsh. .. Eddie Webster was a regular on the county senior football team and was on the successful Division II National League win in 1971. In the same year he was on the ~ Munster Railway Cup team that lost the final but played on the successful teams of 1975 & 1976. .. The ball was thrown in by the famous Bill Ryan Laha (R.I.P.) in the 1987 countY football final played at Cashe!. ,

On behalf of the Gaels of Tipperary I should like to welcome the teams from Fethard and Loughmore-Castleiney to Ll!4hy Park, Cashel for today's senior foot­ ball {ina/. Both teams have contributed enonnous/y to the game offootball in the county and they come to today 's final with a fine tradition behind them.

Perhard may be ahead in the record books for the number of titles won but that is no guarantee that they will be ahead of Loughmore-Castleiney when the final whistle is blown today.

.. I should also like to welcome John Moloney and his offiCials who will preside at r today's game. John is one of our most distinguished referees with no less rh(UI six i;. All-Ireland senior football finals to his credit.

There is an increased interest in football in the county at the moment. This is - the result of the Wlseeded draw in the Munster Senior football championship and the wonderful success of Clare in last year's final decider. l'hisyear Tipperary have a chance ofqualifying for the final for the first time since 1935. They play Limerick in the first round and the winners play Waterford in the semi-final. The possibility of making it to the final gives (oday's encounter an additional dimension and makes victory all the more desireable.

Finally I want to thank all tnose involved in the organi1;atinn of today 's event and I look forward to a fine sporting encounter.

Mo bhuiochas diobh uile. Micheal Maguidhir, Cathaoirleach Coiste Chondae.
