Junior Hurling North Final
Junior A panel and management following the North Final last Saturday in Dolla.
Well done to our Junior A hurlers who claimed the North title on Saturday evening last in Dolla. Following another fine performance the boys beat Borrisoleigh on a scoreline 1-22 to 3-12 with Billy Moran scoring our goal. After losing out in the last two North finals this was a great win for this group and richly deserved. Well done to all the panel and to the management team. The boys have a break now for a few weeks before the Co semi final, opposition and fixture to be confirmed.

Josephine Mackey, Club Treasurer, and Deirdre Ní Loinsigh from the camogie club recently presented the cheque for €1500 to Gráinne Beattie. Well done to all involved.

Seniors
The Senior team travelled to Cashel on Saturday afternoon for the last round of the group games in the Championship. Despite missing some key players and the concession of a first minute goal the girls battled hard. At half time Nenagh trailed Cashel by 6 points. With 6 minutes remaining however, Nenagh found themselves ahead by 2 points after a supreme team effort. Unfortunately they could not hold out and were beaten by 2 points at final whistle. Final score Cashel 1-18 Nenagh Eire Og 3 -9. Scorers for Nenagh were Grace O’Brien 1- 7, Maeve Coffey 1-1, Caroline Browne 1- 0, Zoey Gratton 0- 1 . This squad continues to improve and as we enter the knockout stages, hope to cause a surprise or two before the season finishes.
Nenagh will meet Annacarty in the Senior Championship Quarter Final next Saturday 16th at 3.00 o clock in Annacarty.
