CAMOGIE
Under-13: Under-13s played their second game against Ballina on Monday evening.
Minor: Our next two minor games have been called off to facilitate the Tipperary under-16 team who have reached the All-Ireland final
Under-16: We would like to congratulate the Tipperary under-16 management for reaching the All-Ireland final against Galway on August 4th and, of course, our club players Rachel Maher, Grace O’Brien, Rachel Spillane and Saoirse Gleeson who are members of this very talented team.
Junior: Our junior team played the Munster Junior A Plate final last Sunday evening in Newport against an experienced Newport-Ballinahinch team. It turned out to be the Camogie game of the year with both sides doing Tipperary proud. Nenagh lined out with nine minor players and four players playing their second game of the day, but you wouldn’t know it such was the intensity that they brought to the game. Nenagh normally compete at the junior B grade, but the Blues reached the final on merit and were absolutely terrific in the decider. In the end, sadly, Éire Óg lost out on a 4-13 to 7-8 scoreline. For a full report on this game please click: here!
Bag Packing: The club recently had a bag packing fundraiser in Dunnes Stores and we would like to thank everyone that contributed and of course all those that took part.

Under-16: Our under-16s were unlucky to go down to Newport by a puck of a ball in a tight game on Monday, July 15th. The lads recovered well from that defeat by beating Ballina 3-20 to 0-5 at MacDonagh Park, Nenagh on Monday, July 22nd. This win brings the lads right back into contention in a very open group. The Éire Óg under-16s are away to Roscrea on Monday, July 29th and would love to see some support for the Blues at that encounter.
Guess The Score: There was no winner in the ‘Guess the Score’ fundraiser. Seller prizes went to juveniles Seán Phelan and Ben White. The prize money will now be awarded to charity. More to follow.

an historic All-Ireland Féile na nGael title on Sunday afternoon.
Féile na nGael: Our Féile na nGael team enjoyed a fantastic weekend at the All-Ireland finals in Limerick. Our host club Killeedy could not have been more welcoming to our players and made us feel instantly at home.

The girls enjoyed a feast of Camogie playing Killeedy, Newcastlewest, Sarsfields New Inn and Davitt’s of Derry before playing Dicksboro of Kilkenny in the Gaelic Grounds in the final. Unfortunately the Cats proved too strong winning on a scoreline of 3-2 to 1-1. However despite the result the whole weekend has been a positive experience for all our players and many lasting memories and friendships have been formed. Thanks to all who so generously sponsored the panel over the last few months, your kindness will not be forgotten. To the parents, management and committee the whole club owes you a debt of gratitude for all your hard work over the last few months. And finally the players themselves – they have done the whole club and parish of Nenagh proud with their hard work ethic, skilful displays and determination over the last few months. The host families have nothing, but praise for you all for how polite and well-behaved you were over the weekend. The whole club is very proud of you all.

SENIOR
Senior: Our senior hurlers play Thurles Sarsfields in the first round of the county championship on Sunday evening next. This game takes place in the Ragg at 7.30pm.

We appeal to everyone associated with the club to come out on Sunday evening and support the lads in what is sure to be a wonderful occasion. How Éire Óg progress in the county series will have implications for 2014 so it is vitally important that the efforts of the lads are supported.
The eight losers of this first round in the county championship will enter the Ó Riain Cup (which has relegation attached) while the eight winners from round one of the county championship play-off with the eight losing divisional semi-finalists. Critically, the winners of this round will be guaranteed a place in the top-tier of the 2014 county senior hurling championship. Those eight winners will join the eight divisional finalists to make up the top-sixteen in 2014.
