Club News 13th February 2023

Long puck

Nenagh Éire Óg are running a long puck competition next Saturday, 18th February, at 10am in aid of the Dillon Quirke foundation. There will be Juvenile, Adult and a Camogie competition with €10 entry for adults, €5 for juveniles.

The Dillon Quirke Foundation’s aim is to raise awareness of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome and save lives by screening every GAA club player from the age of 12 upwards across Ireland so hopefully there will be a big turnout on the day for this very worthy cause.

Table Quiz

We had a very successful Juvenile Table Quiz last Friday night in The Dapp Inn. Thanks very much to all who attended, bought raffle tickets and donated prizes.

Thanks very much to Mel Gleeson who MC’d the evening so eloquently and for all of his organising in the lead up to the event.

This years table quiz was eagerly awaited after a 3 year hiatus due to Covid. Thanks to Elaine, Catherine and Fiona for helping out on the backroom administration of the quiz.

All funds raised on the night will go towards juvenile club programmes, events and equipment.

Congratulations to the winners who claimed the Tommy Mulcahy Perpetual Cup, congratulations also to the eventual second place team who claimed the runner up slot after winning a thrilling tie breaker.
