JUVENILE

Our under-6 hurlers enjoyed a great morning on Saturday playing against Portroe and Kilruane in Nenagh. Many thanks to our visitors.

The Nenagh under-8 team hosted Kilruane MacDonagh's in the annual Tommy Mulcahy Tournament on Saturday morning. Both panels provided great entertainment for mentors and parents alike. Well done to all. Training continues on Wednesday at 5.15pm.

Best wishes from all the boys for a speedy recovery to Tommy Mulcahy who is under the weather at the moment.

Our under-11 team took part in a blitz in Newport on Saturday playing against Newport, Ahane and Clooney-Quin. All had a good day out with some great hurling being played. Thanks to Newport GAA for their hospitality.

Well done to our under-13 hurlers who qualified for the North under-13 Plate final following a hard-fought victory over Ballina on Thursday night. Ballina dominated proceedings in the first half and led by four points at the break. However, an early second half goal from the stick of Ben West put the game in the melting pot. With both teams giving their all from here to the end, it took a long range effort from Diogo Marques to tip the scales in Éire Óg's favour on a score line of 1-7 to 0-9. Well done to both teams. The final has been fixed for next weekend.

Huge congratulations to our under-16A hurlers and captain Mark O’Farrell who brought the cup home to Nenagh following their 2-18 to 1-13 North final win over Roscrea on Saturday. It was a strong and determined performance from the start from the boys who are now in preparation for the county semi-final on Saturday, September 26th at 12 noon in Kickham Park in Thurles against South champions Moyle Rovers. Best of luck to the team and mentors from all in the club! Please make the trip to support the lads. A full match report from the North Final victory can be found on the club website:

CAMOGIE

Under-8: We travelled to Ballina on Saturday to take part in a blitz.

The girls had a wonderful day out. Thank you to our hosts for the great day.

Junior: We face Holycross in the next round of the championship. This fixture is expected to take place on Sunday at 12 noon in Holycross. The girls have to win to have any hopes of progressing to the knockout stages.

Car Wash: We held a successful car wash on Sunday last in order to raise funds for the club. We wish to thank Keith Deane for allowing us to use his facilities in Lyon’s Garage and we want to thank all the players involved i.e. Mark Hassett, Mike Ryan, Séamie Morris, Noel Coffey, Kieran O’Brien, Liam McGrath and Tom McAuliffe for washing the cars and all who got their car washed. If any girl has still not returned money please do so as soon as possible.

Flag Weekend: We will be having our annual flag weekend over the first weekend of October. This is a vital fundraiser for the club and if you would like to volunteer one hour of your time please contact Denise Morris or any committee member over the coming weeks.

All-Ireland Minor Football Final: While it wasn’t a day to remember for the county’s minor footballers it was a very memorable day for Avril Dooley who presented the Tom Markham Cup prior to the game to the Croke Park officials. Well done Avril, we hope you had a fantastic day out.

Condolences: All in the club were saddened to learn of the passing of Eddie Connolly following a long battle with cancer. Eddie’s fight against his illness was inspirational and through the Score 4 Eddie campaign he managed to raise a significant amount of money for the Eddie Connolly Trust, The Friends of St Luke's Hospital and St James Hospitals. Our junior and minor teams took part in the Score 4 Eddie campaign last week and we would encourage all our players, members and supporters to contribute to this excellent cause by texting MATCH to 50300. We send our heartfelt condolences to the Connolly family, all his friends and the Loughmore-Castleiney GAA club.
