As Cathaoirleach of Gaiste Thiobraid Arann Thiar, I wish to extend a sincere welcome to all our patrons to the 1996 West Senior Hurling Final, the premier event in the calendar of sporting events in the Division. In particular, I welcome the players from Cashel King Cormac's and Clonoulty and congratulate them on qualifying for today's final. Cashel will be attempting to achieve four-in-a-row of Senior titles. In the past three years they have defeated Kickhams and Clonoulty/Rossmore at this stage and will be striving with might and main this afternoon to write a new chapter in the history of the club. Standing in the way of such success will be a determined Clonoulty/Rossmore side which is still trying to regain the glory days of the '30's when they were kingpins in this Division. The curtain raiser to the main event will be the Junior game between Aherlow and Galtee Rovers. It should whet our appetites for the main event. The Rockwell Rovers ground is in excellent condition and so we should expect a fast exciting afternoon of hurling. I extend the thanks of the Board to Gerry Ring, J.J. Kennedy and the Rockwell Rovers club for the production of the programme. To all club officers and officials of the Rockwell Rovers club for the preparation of the venue. To Eamonn Browne and officials for their control of the game, and to all the ticket sellers and checkers. May we all enjoy the spectacle of the world's greatest game played well.

4 J. J. Kennedy Reports

Champions and favourites, Cashel, face Clonoully/Rossmore, the only West team to beat them in a championship game in the nineties. The 1992 West Final is one Clonoully will wish to focus on as they prepare for this latest attempt to upset the Kings. ThaI day at Sansha stands apart in Clonoulty's history as the only occasion in which they beat the King Cormacs in a West Final. It was all the more momentous as Cashel, at the time, were reign­ ing Munster champions who earlier that year had played out their epic All· Ireland encounters with Kiltormer. In all other five West Final meetings between the sides the King Cormacs have rules the roost, including the lasl occasion they met in 1994, when Clonoully had victory snatched by a late equalising goal from Sean Slattery and then lost the replay_ Amazingly that 1992 final is the only West Championship game Cashel have lost in the nineties. It's a remarkable record that has seen them win five of the last six West Championships including the three-in-a-row. That three-in-a-row was something no other Cashel side had ever achieved and now they chase a four-in-a-row, something only Clonoulty and Eire Og have managed in the past, and only Kickhams have bettered with five-in-a-row in the fifties. Unlike Clonoulty, Cashel have played at the New Inn 'len ue already this year but it wasn't the happiest of experiences for the King Cormacs. That was back in May when they scrambled a first round win over Golden/Kilfeacle by 2- 10 to 1-11 on the same day that Clonoulty had a first round win over Eire Og at Dundrum, 0-10 to 1-3. They've had to wait over two months then for their semi­ finals with Clonoutty ousting Kickhams a fortnight ago by 3-13 to 2-6 and Cashel last week ditching Cappawhite by 4-17 to 1-14. It's a Cashel side that is again weakest in attack as evidenced by the move of Conal Bonnar to the frontline of the attack, a move that brought benefit in the past. T. J. Connolly and Timmy Moloney are the central characters there along­ side Bonnar, with Michael Butler, Seanie O'Donoghue and his younger brother, Ronan, completing the sextet in the semi-final against Cappa white. Moloney's free-taking can be crucial. Against that Clonoulty have an impressive recruit this year in County Minor, Michael Kennedy, the star of their semi-final win over Kickhams. Much will depend on the form of such as and Dan Quirke in attack too with Michael Heffernan, and Kevin Lanigan-Ryan completing the format the last day. James Ryan and Maurice Quirke were introduced also. Cashel's major strength at midfield is Calm Bonnar who was partnered the last day by his brother, ailbe. Against that Clonoulty have been depending on Kevin Ryan and Tim Shanahan whose form has been moderate enough. Cashel's defence has been stable all year with Pat O'Donoghue and Willie Fitzell in the central positions and· Liam Barron, Michael Perdue, Joe O'·Leary and Raymie Ryan on the flanks. Against that Clonoulty have introduced Peter

5 Brennan this year to full back with Noel Keane moving aside to corner. Aidan Butler has made his mark at number six with finding a new lease of life at number five and Phil Shanahan and Alan O'Dwyer completing the line­ up. In goal for Clonoulty/Rossmore they are depending on the long-serving Andrew Fryday and Kevin O'Sullivan manning Cashel's last line of defence. So the battle lines are drawn for what promises to be an exciting tussle. Cashel seek their 19th Divisional title while Clonoulty look for their 8th. Clonoulty's form so far this year has been distinctly mediocre, although they'll obviously hope that the big day and the sight of Cashel will lift them as it did in '92. Mind you, Cashel themselves have looked vulnerable 100 on occasions this yea r, especially in the first round against Golden and in the Crosco Final against Kickhams. They showed better things against Cappawhite last Sunday and will hope for a carry-over to the final of such scoring exploits as yielded 4- 17 against Cappawhite. So, can Clonoulty halt the four-in-a-row? Past evidence and present form says no. The defeated finalists will playoff with Ihe Crosco winners or runners­ up, fo r a place in the County Quarter-Finals against North Division.

Clonoulty/Rossmore 1·8 (Replay) It was only the third West Final ever to go to a replay.

Bul Declan Ryan goaled a 20 metre free before the break and a Dan Quirke goal in the second half slipped Clonoulty into the lead before Sean Slattery rescued Cashel with a brilliant late goal. The replay was delayed until after Ihe county series and it was October 30th before the sides lined-up again at Oundrum. This time Cashel had goals in the first quarter from Cormac Bonnar and John Ryan and went on to win comfortably to take their 17th West Championship.

17 ClONOUlTy/RoSSMORE CAPTAIN - DEClAN R YAN Declan Ryan, the powerfully buill, redhaired Clonoulty/Aossmore captain, is well-known to hurling followers all over Ireland. This prodigious talent was earmarked for greatness at a young age and catapulted himself into the national limelight by winning an All-Star Award in his first year of Senior Inter­ County Hurling in 1988. An unassuming individual off the field, Declan has contributed enormously to Tipperary's cause since 1988. turning in some spectacular periormances in a glittering career that has seen him win all the major honours in the game. In the historic year of 1989 Oeclan gained his first All-Ireland Senior Medal, captained Tipperary's victorious U/21 team to AII·lreland glory and played a major role in bringing West and County honours to his club. He won a second senior All-Ireland in 1991 and won a second West Final Medal in '992 and numerous olher honours.

His commitment to training is exemplary, his attitude first class and having him on any team is, in itself, a motivation to his coUeagues. He is an accomplished foolballer, having won a West Championship. He has won 5 West Championships in all. Joe is married with two children,
