Sam meets his hero
“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another”
G.K. Chesterton
We received this absolutely fantastic photograph during the week of the late Tommy Mulcahy passing on his knowledge to an eager and young Sam O’Farrell. Tommy has gifted so many young people his knowledge, wisdom and love of Gaelic games and has helped ensure our sports will continue to prosper with the next generation. Tommy obviously told Sam something special here as he is developing into a fine hurler and Gaelic footballer.
Some food for thought for all our mentors, parents and supporters

Under-14 Football
The under-14 side, North Tipperary Féile na nGael champions, 2019
Saturday was a very emotional day for the club and in particular for our under-14s footballers who learned of the passing of their very first coach Tommy Mulcahy prior to their North final against Ballina. Both teams stood for a very emotional, poignant and respectful minute’s silence and the young Éire Óg men paid the ultimate tribute they possibly could to Tommy by capturing the Féile Peil title with panache and style adding to the to their Féile hurling title won on Monday last. The double within a week!
Our thanks go to a gallant Ballina team, referee Gareth Howard and his umpires and North BNG secretary Philip Delaney, who gave a touching speech about his memories from juvenile playing days of Tommy always being the first to greet teams at the dressing rooms. Team captain Sam O’Farrell, gave a wonderful speech and dedicated the win and trophy to his teams first coach Tommy. Well done to our boys. They are a credit to club and families.

The 20X20 initiative, our juvenile club day on Saturday and the seniors are back in action this week. Once again this week’s club news is serried, with news on the Blues
Happy International Women’s Day 2019
On Friday last the world celebrated International Women’s Day 2019 and while we know we are a few days late to the party we do hope all the ladies involved in our club, be they administrators, coaches, parents, supporters or players had a happy International Women’s Day.
We’re very fortunate to have a thriving camogie section which continues to grow year on year while our handball club is producing some of the best emerging female talent in both Ireland and the world.
The 20X20 initiative, a new campaign presented by the Federation of Irish Sport and originated and developed by the creative agency Along Came A Spider and supported by Healthy Ireland, is setting out to create a measurable cultural shift in our perception of women’s sport so that it will be seen as something strong, valuable and worth celebrating.
Numerous Irish sporting organisations including the GAA are calling on the people of Ireland and all those involved in Irish sport and physical activity to get behind female sport in a concerted effort to increase media coverage, boost attendances and ultimately, grow involvement in female sport and physical activity by 20% by the end of 2020.
The general public are being asked to pledge one action to show their support by doing anything that can accelerate progress for women’s sport in Ireland and we here in the club encourage all our members to get involved. You could make it your business to come and watch our camogie or female handballers in action and see the amazing talent and skills they possess. If you have never seen these players in action you could pledge to come to just one match and we guarantee that you’ll not be disappointed.
For more information on this brilliant initiative please click here.
Today is International Women's Day! The GAA in support of @20x20_ie #20×20 in calling on all of society to #ShowYourStripes, by pledging one action to support women in sport in 2019! #InternationalWomesDay @iresport pic.twitter.com/1S13o3nP4e

Junior Football
Dan O’Donovan with Kieran Mullarkey (11) and Michael Walsh (6) in support
Our junior footballers travelled down to Cloneen to play St. Patrick’s in the opening match of the county league and despite an impressive performance were unlucky to lose 3-7 to 0-7. It is a testament to the players that they were willing to drive over one hour to play the game in awful weather conditions and indeed both sides have to be complimented for the high skill levels on show despite the inclement weather.
A special note about today’s game is that we got to witness something very rare in Gaelic games and indeed something rarer still in Nenagh Éire Óg in that we saw a father and son play together. Conal Ryan came on as a second half substitute and lined up in the forwards alongside his father Lenny. Well done lads.
Like father, like son. Lenny and Conal after today’s game
We wish Brian Carr and Kieran Mullarkey speedy recoveries from knocks picked up in today’s match. Our next game is on the weekend of April 24 against Lorrha & Dorrha.

Minor Football
Hard luck to our minor footballers who were beaten by Kiladangan today in Puckaun 0-9 to 0-1 in the North championship. With heavy rain and a blizzard blowing in the second half, both sets of players deserve huge credit for the manner in which they went about their business. We have two games left in the round robin stages against Kilruane MacDonagh’s and Inane Rovers with the Kilruane game taking place on Sunday at 12 noon in Nenagh.

Saturday morning marked the end of “The EBS Nenagh Éire Ógres” with a visit from our county star Grace O’Brien who graciously took the time to present the girls with their certificates and t-shirts. Grace won another Ashbourne Cup medal with the University of Limerick in the past few weeks and is a great role model for our young Ógres. We wish her the very best with Tipperary this year. Throughout the four weeks the focus was on fostering an enjoyment of the skills learned, encouraging parental involvement and developing enthusiasm for the sport. We held our registration morning this morning and lots of the girls joined up to continue playing with our under-6 and under-8 teams this year. Training begins this coming week and details will be shared on the parents WhatsApp group. Any new players who wish to give it a try can contact the club through our social media platforms. Our thanks to the many coaches, parents and older sisters who gave up their precious time to ensure the girls had a wonderful time. Huge thanks must also go to the hard working committee who worked tirelessly behind the scenes ordering t-shirts, registering the girls, providing lovely food and all the other jobs that they did.
