CAMOGIE NEWS
The Camogie club put out a ‘call to action’ and rounded up the troops to get a huge number of families to take part in the Jerusalema Challenge. We showed our solidarity to our #frontlineworkers as well as raising the spirits of the club as we continue to live with the Covid restrictions. Instead of showing off their skills on the pitch, our members showed off their dance skills in all weather to create a brilliant video.
It was posted on Facebook, Twitter and the new Nenagh Éire Óg Camogie Instagram page this week and immediately went viral reaching over 10,000 people!
Huge thanks to Stephanie Browne (Musical Theatre Academy Nenagh) for putting all the clips together creating one fun video for everyone to enjoy and give 5 seconds of fame to all the families who took part.
Thanks to all the parents for getting involved and encouraging the players to get involved too. #ÉireÓgAbú

Commiserations go to the Tipperary footballers who were defeated by Mayo in the All-Ireland semi-final on Sunday afternoon in Croke Park. They fought to the bitter end and in doing so, honoured the victims of Bloody Sunday 100 years ago with determination and dignity. By winning the Munster championship they brought huge joy to a lot of people in this bleak year.

All proceeds from the sale of the book go towards AIB’s charity partners; AGE NI, Alone, FoodCloud, Soar & Pieta House.
Anyone wishing to have their copy of the book signed by Bartley are asked to ring his agent Marion to book an appointment and in some cases, Bartley will happily pose for photographs with a lucky select few autograph hunters.

St Mary’s Boys Primary School
We at Nenagh Éire Óg are well aware that the contribution made to our club and the GAA in general by our schools and teachers could never be overestimated. It was wonderful to meet with John Gunnell, Principal of St. Mary’s Boys National School and Willie Greene, Principal of St. Joseph’s C.B.S. Primary today and be able to reward them for all of their hard work with some necessary equipment, kindly sponsored by Costello Oil. We hope that the boys have fun hurling in school and that we’ll see them all at MacDonagh Park soon. Please ‘Shop Local’ this Christmas. It’s local companies like Costello Oil that keep the show on the road for our clubs, dance and drama groups.
