Tonight, the club has issued the following notice to all of our teams
Following last night’s government Covid 19 announcement regarding stricter guidelines it was incumbent on the Club Senior, Juvenile and Camogie Officers to discuss our next steps to ensure all our members’ safety.
Our unanimous decision is that all junior or minor squad training in any format is to be put on hold and we will review future operations on a weekly basis.
Juvenile training can continue but on the strict condition that all GAA and government guidelines are rigidly adhered to.
Any breach by any squad will result in a total training lockdown for all squads.
While we recognise this will have an impact on all individuals, the health and safety on the wider front is our main priority. We deem the risk to continue in our present format is far too great.
By following these guidelines it will help us protect ourselves from the very serious impact of the COVID-19 virus.
Thanking you all in anticipation of your full cooperation.
John Tooher
Chairman.
Get fit for 2020 Challenge with Nenagh Éire Óg Camogie
Get fit for 2020 Challenge with Nenagh Éire Óg Camogie
As January comes around each year most people have their fitness goals and New Year’s resolutions to try to tackle. Sometimes it can be hard to motivate yourself off the sofa or even find the time to fit in a walk or an exercise class. This year Nenagh Éire Óg Camogie club would like to help improve the fitness levels of players, parents and members with a new Get Fit for 2020 Challenge.
The club is offering 20 sessions for €20 to help you kick start your New Year with a series of running and circuit sessions. Registration and start date is planned for the 21st of January at the Nenagh Éire Óg Complex at 6pm and sessions will take place every Tuesday and Thursday for ten weeks.
Tuesdays from 6pm to 7pm will involve a circuits session in the Éire Óg Complex and Thursdays from 6.30pm to 7.30pm will be a running session on the pitch under floodlights following a ‘Couch to 5k’ programme building up to a 5KM run on the 24th of March.
Nenagh Éire Óg Camogie Club would like to welcome any players from under-12s upwards, parents of players and any members of the Nenagh Éire Óg GAA & Camogie Club are welcome to take part. Under-18s will be free of charge. The idea and timing of the sessions is based on allowing parents and members to drop their children to after-school activities and attend the fitness session for an hour to make the most of their time.
There is no need to register in advance, please just show up wearing suitable clothing and bring some water and join the club in their Get Fit for 2020 Challenge. Contact any member of the Camogie committee for details or message us on the Nenagh Eire Og Facebook page. See you on the 21st January at 6pm.
The Blues 10km is a fantastic success, excitement is at bursting point as the under-14s get ready for Féile Peil while we announce the launch of our brand new mobile app. All this and more in this week’s bumper edition of the news on the Blues.
Féile players with members of the senior hurling panel on Sunday morning
All in the club are saddened by the news of the recent passing of John Lawlor.
John served as chairman, secretary and treasurer of Nenagh Éire Óg throughout the 1960s and 1970s. He played hurling and Gaelic football for the club as well as working as a mentor for numerous Gaelic football and hurling teams from juvenile right up to senior. He was the club’s representative to both the North and County Board and was Bord na nÓg secretary between 1964 and 1967.
Later in life he moved to Kilruane MacDonagh’s where he continued his lifelong service to the GAA acting as an administrator and selector with various teams.
His son David played in goals for Nenagh Éire Óg in recent years.
To his wife Mary, sons Damian, Sean and David and daughter Collette we offer our sincerest sympathies.

The Blues 10k
Jim Kennedy gets his blood pressure checked in MacDonagh Park on Sunday
Sunday morning saw MacDonagh Park become a hive of activity as the Ivers and Cullinan sponsored Blues 5km and 10km runs took place while the HSE organised over thirty stands in the complex.
The first three runners home were Tom Lupton (Portlaoise), David Sheehan (Nenagh) and Alan Kelly (Nenagh). For a full list of results and times from Premier Timing please click here.
Meanwhile in the complex the HSE had over thirty stands offering advice, support, free health checks and even pilates to visitors to the club. This was a wonderfully organised event and everyone who attended were wholesome in their praise of the organisers. At the end we were treated to a wonderful concert from Chimers Choir who performed a number of songs to the appreciative audience.
The club wish to thank the organising committee, the volunteers, stewards and in particular Shane Connolly for all his efforts in ensuring today’s event was a wonderful success.

Club Mobile App
We are thrilled to reveal our brand new mobile app which has gone live in the last few days. Created and developed by the talented Seán McTiernan it is now available to all android users. Simply search for “Nenagh Eire Og” on the Play Store and download it for free. It is hoped that in time we will have an Apple version. Thanks to Seán for putting in many hours to create this wonderful addition to our online presence.
Senior
Michael McNamara
Our senior hurlers defeated Portroe in the final game of the round robin stage of the Tipperary Water county league on Sunday morning, 4-16 to 2-9, with Conor Hennessy, Cian O’Farrell, Philip Hickey and Seán Phelan bagging the goals. This means the lads have now qualified for the semi-finals as they bid to retain their title. We send Michael McNamara the very best as he recovers from an injury picked up in this game.
Junior-A
Mark Tuite who deputised in goals for the injured Dáire Gleeson pucks out the ball
Our junior-A hurlers continued their good run in this year’s championship defeating Roscrea in the second round of the North Tipperary championship on Friday evening last 1-14 to 1-13. With thirteen minutes to play the Blues were five-points down but showed great composure and determination to reel in an excellent Roscrea side. Aided by a 51st minute Cian O’Farrell goal, Eddie Tucker’s side never panicked and it was substitute Eoghan Slattery who popped over the winning point with just three minutes remaining.

Tipperary
Barry Heffernan
We wish Barry Heffernan, Jake Morris and the Tipperary senior hurlers the very best of luck next Sunday as they take on Limerick in the Munster senior hurling final in Páirc na nGael. Limerick are chasing their twentieth title while Tipperary are going for their 43rd.
Commiserations to Grace O’Brien and the Tipperary senior camogie side who were defeated by Cork in the Liberty Insurance All-Ireland championship on Saturday, 2-20 to 1-8. Grace started the game at corner forward and supplied two of Tipperary’s points, one in either half. Tipperary will play the replay of the abandoned match against Waterford next Saturday in Nowlan Park, Kilkenny.

The pitch had been divided into grids by Mel Gleeson and where ever the ball ended up decided the winners of our Square Ball competition. We wish to thank all who bought tickets for this fundraiser and everyone who organised it.

Well done to our under-6 boys on a great morning’s hurling in MacDonagh Park at the club blitz. Great to see such big numbers again in Éire Óg colours. Thanks to our visitors Kilruane MacDonagh’s, Kiladangan and Roscrea for bringing their super young players to the field and to all of the parents for providing refreshments afterwards. The future of North Tipperary hurling is in good hands!

Under-8
Our under-8 boys travelled to Cloughjordan on Saturday morning to play against Kilruane MacDonagh’s and Lorrha Dorrha. As always it was really well organised and the boys had a great time. Lots of our boys had played in a schools blitz in Éire Óg on Friday representing St Mary’s BNS and Gaelscoil Aonach Urmhumhan. Over 150 boys took part in the school blitz.
For some of the primary school children it was their first time playing hurling and we would love to welcome new players to the club to try out hurling or Gaelic football. We are starting a street league in Gaelic football this Tuesday from 6pm until 7pm and in hurling on Wednesday from 5.30pm until 6.30pm. It will run for a few weeks at the same time. If any new players would like to play they need a gumshield for football, for hurling they can borrow a hurley and helmet from the club. Anyone interested in coming along can turn up on the night or contact 0874086439.
You’re in the army now
