Senior: Nenagh Éire Óg’s senior campaign came to an end at Semple Stadium on Sunday afternoon when Liam Heffernan’s men came undone thanks to a Thurles Sarsfields free in the final minute of extra-time. The Blues walked out of Semple Stadium with their heads held high following a determined display which featured all of the positive values that we have come to associate with this group of players. Éire Óg would like to wish Thurles Sarsfields all the very best in next week’s county semi-final.

Nenagh Éire Óg would like to thank the entire panel of players for the manner in which they represented the club, their families and themselves during the game – Sunday represented the senior team’s 16th competitive game this year (won 14, one draw and lost one by a point). During the campaign Éire Óg also won the north championship and the premier division league title.
Nenagh Éire Óg would also like to thank the management team for all of their efforts – namely Liam Heffernan (manager), John Fitzgerald (coach), Enda Costello (selector) and Noel Coffey (selector).
Junior A: The Blues will take on south Tipperary’s Skeheenarinky in the Clean Ireland Recycling County Junior A Hurling Championship final on Saturday, October 25th in Leahy Park, Cashel at 3.30pm. The game will be preceded by an intermediate quarter-final between Thurles Sarsfields and St Mary's, Clonmel (2pm).
Everyone associated with the team is immensely proud of what this group of players have achieved this year and we would appeal to you to support the lads in the up-coming county final.

JUVENILE
Under-6 & Under-88: The under-8 boys travel to Kilmacud Crokes for a tournament this weekend and should enjoy a great day out – more information from management during the week.
Under-13 Hurling Plate: Well done to our under-13 hurlers who captured the north under-13 title when they defeated Borris-Ileigh on Sunday last on a scoreline of 5-7 to 1-6. Despite playing against a stiff breeze in the first half Éire Óg opened the scoring when Conor Robinson pounced for a goal from a breaking ball. Cian Griffin added a second midway through the first half to leave the half-time score Éire Óg 2-2 Borris-Ileigh 0-1. Second half goals from Barry Coffey, Cian O'Farrell and Conor Malone secured the victory for the Blues. This concludes the hurling activity for the year. Thank you to the management team of John Phelan, Conor O'Donovan, Phil Hennessy and Michael McNamara and a big thanks to all the players for their commitment during the year.
