We played our first match of the year on St Patrick’s day in Nenagh against Knockavilla in the league. 
It was a  keenly contested affair with some excellent camogie played by both teams.  Nenagh had a good lead at half time, but Knockavilla came back strongly and took the lead with time almost up,  Nenagh scored a late point to get a deserved draw.
Great credit is due to both teams. We have a bye next weekend and our next match is away to Annacarty.

Under 14 group

U14 – 1st Team
Later that evening, our first team played Slieve Feilim in their U14 A Round 2 game. We matched them toe-to-toe in the first half, but came in at the break 2-4 to 1-2 down.
The girls fought hard in the second half, but could not register the scores. The strength of the Slieve Feilim girls showed in the latter stages and they pulled away to make the final score 3-7 to 1-3.

Training for all U14’s continues Monday 6-7pm and Thursday 7-8pm.

Next week’s lotto Jackpot will be €5,300.  

As the lotto starts again in 2023, we thank everyone for continuing to support our lotto. If you have not yet joined the lotto or if your ticket has recently expired (check recent emails from Clubforce to check status of your ticket), please consider signing up again – it is our main fundraiser and contributes enormously to the day to day running of the club.

And the lotto can now be played in the following businesses in the town:

HI-B
JKC
CENTRA
THE 44 BAR 
CLEARY’S DAYBREAK
ANDYS

So look out for our new lotto boxes in these places where you can buy your lotto tickets each week and they will be included in the next lotto draw.
