Barry Coffey
Barry Coffey pucks around with Jake Morris in MacDonagh Park last summer
Congratulations to Barry Coffey who signed a new contract with soccer club Celtic FC that will keep him at the Scottish giants until the summer of 2022.
In a statement Celtic FC commented that “Coffey’s hard work in Tommy McIntyre’s reserves last campaign saw him called up to the Scottish champions’ pre-season training camp in Austria and Switzerland in June. There, he played for the senior side for the first time against SC Pinkafeld.
In the weeks that followed, Coffey represented his country at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, and is now determined to work hard to keep himself in Neil Lennon’s wider plans at club level.
Speaking at Celtic Park, Coffey said: “I’m over the moon and it’s nice to finally get the new deal over the line. I’m delighted and it’s nice to celebrate the hard work over the last two years that’s led to this point. Now, I can’t wait to get to work and continue to prove my worth at this great club.
“At the start of the season, it was an unreal experience to be involved with the first team and to play a few games in Austria. And then I was away with Ireland U-19s at the Euros, which was another fantastic experience. Now, I’ll work as hard as I can at Celtic, and can hopefully catch the gaffer’s eye again.”

Paul and Elaine
The happy couple
We all wish to congratulate Paul Lillis on his marriage on Saturday last to his very own Galway girl, Elaine Kelly, at a beautiful ceremony in St. Killian’s Church, New Inn.
Paul, an extremely talented water and hurley carrier, has been a stalwart of the club all his life, never failing to help out when called upon and is currently embarking on a five-year long logistics managerial apprenticeship. The reception was held afterwards in Loughrea where talented poet, linguist and orator Mattie Lillis spoke passionately and eloquently for 47 minutes to an enthralled and captive audience while best man, David Sherlock, recounted Paul’s brief golf career.
The club sends Paul and Elaine our best wishes on their wonderful journey as they begin their new lives together.
Stylist Mark Long fixes Mattie’s tie prior to his 47 minute speech where he listed all of Paul’s achievements as well as regaling us with his first impression of Elaine!

On what has been a sad week for Nenagh Éire Óg, here are this week’s club notes
The Late Michael Madden
All of us in Nenagh Éire Óg are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Michael Madden, a great clubman who was a familiar face around MacDonagh Park for many decades.
Michael was a great supporter of The Blues and was never found wanting when a job needed to be done. He helped with the club lotto draw every Monday evening in the club house and was a member of our field committee and club committee for many years.
He passed on a love of Gaelic games to his children who played juvenile hurling, Gaelic football and camogie for the club.
Michael was a great friend to many in the club, a brilliant raconteur who regularly enthralled many with his anecdotes and quick wit and helped the development of many players over the years with his insightful knowledge and advice.
To his wife Marion and children Derek, Michael, James, Christine and Katie, brothers Gerry and Colm, sisters Anna, Mary, Sheila Teresa and his extended family and numerous friends we offer our sincerest sympathies.
Camogie AGM
The AGM for Nenagh Éire Óg Camogie Club was held on the 4th of December at the clubhouse in Nenagh and was well attended by members representing the club across all of the age groups involved in camogie.
Kieran Malone, Chairperson and Vice-Chair, James O’Dwyer expressed sincere thanks to all of the players, coaches and management for their involvement over the last twelve months with the camogie club. In particular they wished to express their gratitude to outgoing committee members; secretary Pat Sheridan and registrar, Deirdre Colleran for their time and commitment to the club.
The committee outlined the club finances and thanked the main sponsors this year John Ryan, Inver and Entexol.
As the meeting was well attended there was plenty of feedback to the committee on a number of matters and this was welcomed by the committee who agreed to convene their first meeting on Wednesday the 11th of December at 8p.m. in the Clubhouse.
On closing the meeting the chairperson highlighted the commitment of Conor and Noreen Ryan and their dedication and efforts into the senior and minor teams for the last two years.
The elected members for the coming season are as follows;
