Nenagh Éire Óg Summer Camp
The 2023 Nenagh Éire Óg Summer Camp took place last week and was a tremendous success with the children having a fantastic time playing fun skills games coupled with Gaelic games.
What better way to top off a great camp experience than with ice creams for all which were of course thoroughly enjoyed by the children and coaches.
Congratulations to Kyle Doran who was the winner of the signed Tipperary Jersey.
Thanks to all the coaches who gave up their holidays to volunteer during the camp. Thanks to Niall for co-ordinating the camp – it was a very well run camp, enjoyed by all and a great way to round off the summer holidays.

Under 13 boys had another busy week. Our C team and D team were playing against Borrisokane and Roscrea. On Tuesday in Toomevara our third team played Roscrea’s second team. Both teams showed great skill and determination but Roscrea proved too strong with their ability to get vital scores. The D team now play Kiladangan this week in the plate semi-final – this game is in Puckane on Thursday at 7pm.
The C team played Borrisokane in Ballinderry on Wednesday. Borrisokane started well scoring some great points. Our boys were slow to settle but worked their way into the game. Our ability to score goals was the difference in the end, with Robbie O’Brien and James Hynes scoring our goals. The C team now progress to the semi-final playing Ballinahinch in Templederry on Wednesday at 7pm – best of luck to the boys.
