As a club, we’ve made fantastic progress in recent weeks with our ongoing developments.
We wanted to give everyone an update on how things are going and to thank all our members, volunteers and everyone in the community who has helped make this happen.
New Field: We have completed the fencing around our new field and installed pylons for floodlights. Contracts have been signed for the new dressing rooms and work will begin at the end of this month. The sewage and water connections are currently being delivered.
Walkway: We have completed the walkway around our new field and added a section along the bank side of our main field.
Gym: Groundworks have been completed for our new gym, which is located just inside the entrance to our main field. The gym is scheduled for completion within the next two months.
As we move forward, we will continue to share updates on our progress. Once again, sincere thanks to everyone involved for all the great work.

The Junior-A panel, North Tipperary finalists 2025
Our Junior A Hurlers progress to the County Semi-Final after defeating Clonmel Óg two weekends ago. They play Holycross Ballycahill on the weekend of the 18th in the semi-final.
Best of luck to former club hurler Pearse Morris and his club Ballincollig, Co. Cork, who are into the Premier Intermediate County Final. Pearse came on as a sub in the semi-final and helped his team get over the line. Pearse is currently working as a Games Development Officer in Cork and we might be cursing him in the future should Cork defeat the Premier but for now we are incredibly proud of him flying the Nenagh and Tipperary flag down South and wish him well in the final.

Senior sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub goalkeeper Paul Lillis gave a performance for the ages on Sunday morning last in the junior-c clash with Shannon Rovers as he saved shot after shot while simultaneously acting as a sweeper racing out of the goals acting as an out ball for the much relieved defenders before sending pin-point passes into the forwards. Such was his impact on the game that at one stage former Nenagh hurler and Shannon Rovers full forward John Flannery hit Lillis’s hurley a headbutt in an effort to curb his influence on the game but to no avail. Well done Paul.
Up and coming young hurler Niall Cahill was in sensational form on Sunday morning against Shannon Rovers in the junior-c match as he covered every blade of game on Thomas MacDonagh’s pitch showing boundless energy and enthusiasm which will have given senior hurling manager Hugh Maloney plenty to ponder over ahead of the county semi-final. Here is Niall scoring a first-half goal.

Francis the History Maker
Last July the whole county partied as Tipperary blew Cork away with a breathtaking second-half display in the All-Ireland final. The Premier crowd were thrilled, but deep down they also felt terribly for Cork, whose All-Ireland drought has now dragged on for over twenty years.
The anniversary of their last win fell on September 11, but fear not — there’s been a breakthrough for Perkin Warbeck’s county. Step forward our own Francis Bourke, originally from the famous Craggy Island just off the Cork coast, who became the first Cork man in two decades to lift the Liam MacCarthy Cup when it made its way to MacDonagh Park.
A momentous day for Francis and the Rebel County — at long last a Cork man got his hands on the silverware. Fair play Francis, you’ve ended the famine.
