Camogie Notes

Intermediate

It was a busy week for our Intermediate team as we played Toomevara in our final re-fixed group match. The match was tightly contested in the first half, but we took control in the second and won comfortably for a finish. It was our first championship win in 3 years and lifted the Nenagh spirits ahead of our quarter final.

With only 4 days to recover, we played Cahir in our quarter final in Duneske pitch on Saturday evening. A slow start by Éire Óg saw Cahir race into a 1-4 to 0-1 lead after 10 minutes. Our girls got to grips with the Cahir running game and we got on top for the final 10 minutes of the first half. A poor decision from the referee saw a legitimate goal from Grace O’Brien ruled out, but we got a foothold in the game thanks to a long-range free from Zoey Gratton which was deflected into the net. Some great points were added to make it 1-5 each at half time.

However, playing into a stiff breeze in the second half, the injuries we carried into the game began to tell. Cahir were winning frees in scorable positions and took full advantage. The final scoreline of 2-10 to 1-6 did not tell the full story, but it is Cahir who go through to the semi-final.

The club would like to thank all the players and mentors for their time and dedication shown all season. We especially thank Paul Lillis and Enda O’Sullivan for the time, attention and consideration shown towards the team during the championship.

U16

We travelled to Drom village to play our final group game against Drom & Inch last Monday. A solid performance and some well-taken scores in windy conditions gave us a win against a good Drom team. Final score Nenagh Éire Óg 2-10 Drom 1-5.

We are now through the the U16B quarter final which is fixed for McDonagh Park on Friday evening at 6.15pm. Best of luck to players and management.

U11

Travelled to Roscrea on Friday evening in their second development league game, a terrific contest between two strong sides . Thanks to all the Parents and Coaches for getting the girls to the match Next up is a trip to Newport next weekend.

Our u8’s played Kilruane in Ardcroney last Saturday in a number of competitive games, the girls have only a few more games left before the end of season.
