HE may be a supporter of the black and amber in hurling, but Tom is a true Blue and he’s got the years of hard graft at Strand Road HQ to prove it.
Tom O’Shea has been serving pints over the counter at the Kerins O’Rahillys Club for 30 years and there was a small celebration sprung on him on Wednesday to mark the milestone.
Tom, a native of Castlecomer in Kilkenny is married to Eileen (née Lynch), a Cahersiveen native, and the two them have been running the club’s bar and restaurant for all those years and doing a great job too.

They’ve seen a lot of changes in the club over the years — especially the huge revamp of the bar and addition of function rooms around ten years ago — and witnessed some great celebrations, not least the aftermath of the 2002 county final.
Congratulations Tom and here’s to many more years of serving the Naries with distinction.
