Camogie Notes
Intermediate
The Intermediate Camogie team travelled to Newport on Saturday morning last to play the 2nd round of the League against Newport/Ballinahinch.
Newport settled quicker and had some good interchanges to pick off some early scores. The Nenagh girls got their game going however and, playing with the wind in the first half, we began to work the ball well into the full forward line, who held it up well. Two well-worked goals, finished to the net by Sarah Quigley and Megan Grace saw the girls lead at half time 2-3 to 0-6.
Facing into a strengthening wind, our backs and midfield excelled in the second half, keeping Newport forwards to only scoring from frees. At the other end, a long range free from Rachel Maher was deflected to the Newport net. Another point was added and our backs held firm to win by 2 points.
Final score Newport/Ballinahinch 0-11 Nenagh Éire Óg 3-4.
The next league game is at home to Kilruane McDonaghs on Saturday April 19th at 6pm.
U16
The girls played Slieve Felim in McDonagh Park on Monday putting in a very strong performance in the final group match of the county A league. Final score Nenagh Éire Óg 3-18 Slieve Felim Raperees 0-9.
Tipperary
Best of luck to Carly Walsh, Grace Cleary and the Tipperary U16A squad this weekend.
