Ger Gavin Memorial Tournament
The inaugural Ger Gavin Memorial Tournament took place on Saturday last in MacDonagh Park and proved to be a great success. O’Loughlin Gaels won out on the day, just pipping Clooney Quinn in the winner takes all final round. This was a great afternoon of hurling and our thanks to Moycarkey Borris, O’Loughlin Gaels, Clooney Quinn and our own U21 squad for making this happen.

Following the hurling, teams and supporters gathered in the hall where Club Chairman John Tooher spoke of the high regard people all over the GAA had for the late Ger Gavin and how he is sorely missed throughout the GAA Community. Gerry Gavin, on behalf of the Gavin family, thanked all who made this day possible before presenting the trophy to the O’Loughlin Gaels captain.
We would like to thank the Gavin family for their support in organising this tournament and to everyone who helped out to make this the successful and special day it was, a fitting tribute to Ger who worked tirelessly for Nenagh Éire Óg.

Under 7
Under 7 boys closed their season in great style with a fun morning last Saturday, the highlight of the morning was the boys beating the coaches in a game of tug-of-war! Each boy has improved greatly throughout the year which is brilliant to see. A special mention and good luck to the boys going up to the U9’s next year. Finally, thanks to Alan Kelly and all the coaches who made the year run so smoothly and to the parents/guardians who gave up their Saturday mornings and Wednesday evenings to bring the boys training or to matches. We hope to see all the boys and more coming back next year!
