Andrew Ormond pointed seven minutes into injury time to secure J K Brackens their first Mid Tipperary senior hurling title as they defeated a hotly fancied Drom-Inch 0-19 to 1-15 at Boherlahan yesterday. An amalgamation of clubs in Templemore, estabished in 1992, it was J K Brackens first appearance in the final but their success seemed unlikely when they trailed 0-11 to 1-14 going into the last quarter after Seamus Callanan had netted for Drom.

Drom had the better of the exchanges in a moderate first half and led 0-13 to 0-9 at the break despite shooting nine first half wides. Brackens had a goal by Andrew Ormond disallowed immediately on resuming, a foul on a defender in the build-up prompting referee Johnny Dooley’s decision after consultation with umpires and linesman.
