We had a good weekend winning two of two games.
First up on Saturday evening Team 2 hosted Rockwell Rovers. The girls went straight at it from the start, knocking in 6-1 in the first half. Playing against the wind in the second half and with one player less, the remaining girls put in the hard work to see us home leaving the final scoreboard Nenagh Éire Óg 8-3 Rockwell Rovers 1-4. Captain for the day was Brooke McCarthy.
On Sunday evening, our first team played a strong Shannon Rovers team in MacDonagh Park. Much like the second team, the girls attacked straight from the start. A hattrick from Lauren Grace meant we went in 4-3 to 0-3 up. Rovers got their game going in the second half and staged a great comeback, narrowing the gap to 2 points, but some fine points from Grace Cleary saw us home with the final score Nenagh Éire Óg 5-5 Shannon Rovers 3-6. Well done to both teams. Training continues Monday and Thursday 7-8pm.

Ger McCarthy RIP
All in Nenagh Éire Óg were truly shocked and saddened to hear of the untimely passing of Ger McCarthy at the weekend.
Ger was a lifelong and passionate supporter of Nenagh Éire Óg – he hurled with the club in his younger years, notably winning North and County U16 titles in 1979. Over the past number of years Ger got involved as mentor and manager with both juvenile and adult teams, successes here included guiding the U16s in 2017 and Juniors in 2021 to North hurling titles. He also had the role of Registrar with the Juvenile Committee for a number of years and was a tireless worker on that Committee for many years. Ger was especially proud when son Conor won U20 Munster and All Ireland titles with Tipperary in 2019 and this year when he was called up to the Tipperary senior panel. A minutes silence was observed before the League semi final last Saturday evening in Ger’s memory.
Above – Ger with 2017 U16 North Final winning group.
Below(left) – Ger (Manager) with Junior mentors following the North win in 2021 and (right) 3 proud fathers with their sons following the North senior final win in 2022.
Players, club officials and supporters all gathered to provide a Gurad of Honour following Ger’s funeral mass on Tuesday – the large crowd in attendance was a fitting testament to the popularity of Ger and the respect all in the club had for him. We in Nenagh Éire Óg have undoubtedly lost a great clubman and Ger’s passion and enthusiasm for the club will be sadly missed by all.
To his wife Annette, daughter Laura, son Conor, father Jimmy, sisters, brother and the extended McCarthy and Moloney families we offer our deepest sympathies.

CAMOGIE NEWS
Senior
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
There was contrasting fortunes for our U14 teams this week:
U14 – 2nd Team
Our second team travelled to play Holycross away on Sunday afternoon. Some fine play throughout the team saw our girls come away with an 8 point win, thanks to some fine scoring from Aisling Ryan in particular. Final score 7-6 to 5-4.

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.

Tipperary beat Clare 1-20 to 0-07 in Round 4 of the Very National League, with Grace O’Brien scoring a point from play in the first half of the match. Next is an away game next Saturday against All Ireland Champions Kilkenny.

Tipperary
Well done to Jake Morris on his Man of the Match performance in Tipp’s win over Waterford last weekend.
Jake scored a hat trick with his goals coming at crucial times in the game and he received the TG4 Man of the Match award for his fine performance. On the night when tributes were paid to the late Mick Burns and a minute’s silence was observed in his memory, it was fitting that Jake came away with this award.

The Late Mick Burns RIP
It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Mick Burns last Wednesday evening. Mick was life President of Nenagh Éire Óg for the past number of years but it was his achievements on the hurling field that he is best known for.
Mick Burns is Nenagh Éire Óg’s most decorated player, winning a Minor All Ireland in 1955 and five Senior All Ireland medals between 1958 and 1965. In his years hurling with the Tipperary, Mick also won Munster, National League and Oireachtas titles as well as a Railway Cup representing Munster in 1963. But in his hometown of Nenagh it is the two North Senior titles he won in 1957 and 1964 with Nenagh Éire Óg that he is most fondly remembered. He captained the 1964 winning team and the iconic photograph of Mick being carried shoulder high holding the Frank McGrath Cup aloft is a lasting memory for all Nenagh Éire Óg supporters. At club level Mick also won North Minor and Junior titles in his earlier playing years. When his hurling days ended with Nenagh Éire Óg in the late 60s, Mick continued to be involved with the club as a selector to many teams throughout the 70s and 80s.
Mick remained a loyal supporter of Nenagh Éire Óg down through the years and there was no-one prouder in 1995 when the club won the Dan Breen for the first time, a win made extra special with son Ronan a member of the squad.
His lifetime of dedication to both Nenagh Éire Óg and Tipperary GAA was rewarded in later years when Mick was honoured by the Tipperary Co Board with a Laochra Gael award – a richly deserved award and a proud day for Mick and his family.
Right up to his passing, Mick’s interest in and love of club activities never waned and over the past few summers, as his health was failing, his family regularly brought him around the corner from his home in Monaree to watch teams training in MacDonagh Park. Mick loved these visits, as did all those who were fortunate to meet and chat with him.
Mick’s funeral took place on Saturday last with Nenagh Éire Óg providing a Guard of Honour from MacDonagh Park, through the streets of his beloved Nenagh, to St Mary’s of the Rosary Church. Mick’s former Tipperary colleagues and Co Board members joined the funeral cortege along the way – a fitting tribute to a Nenagh Éire Óg and Tipperary legend.
To his wife Pauline, sons Michael, Ronan and John, daughters Michelle and Ciara, his eight grandchildren and the extended Burns family we offer our deepest sympathies. Rest in peace Mick, you will be sadly missed by all.
Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
