Nenagh Eire Og are delighted to announce that we have signed a new three year main sponsorship agreement with Specsavers, Nenagh. The club will receive significant financial funding over the next three years that will allow the club to continue it’s adventurous development programme that includes a 2.5km Community Walkway project. Specsavers have supported us since 2019 but this agreement is a huge endorsement for the club’s business and community based plan. We would especially like to thank Orlagh Moynihan, Managing Director and Sandra Cooke, Clinical Director for their ongoing support. We ask that Nenagh Éire Óg members and friends support both Specsavers, Nenagh and all local businesses who have over the years never failed to support our various fundraising ventures.

Under 13
Nenagh Under 13A team played Borrisoleigh on Tuesday evening in MacDonagh park. As the Autumn evening drew in, the match unfolded as both a competitive and highly entertaining game with some excellent skills and determination on display from both teams. This was particularly evident in the match up’s between the staunch Nenagh Éire Óg backs and the nifty Borrisoleigh forwards with both groups in full flow as they saw the vast majority of the action during both halves of the game. Despite the competitive nature of the match Borrisoleigh ran out convincing winners as the Borris boys found the Nenagh Éire Óg net on five occasions while Nenagh just couldn’t generate the necessary momentum in order to rattle the Borris goal. Well done to this group of Nenagh Éire Óg boys who put in a gallant effort right through to the end of the game.
Nenagh Under 13D played a very competitive match against Burgess on Tuesday evening in MacDonagh park. The Nenagh boys were equal to the Burgess test right throughout the game and traded scores to finish 1-7 to 1-6 at the end with the win going to Burgess on this occasion.
Training continues Wednesday and Friday evenings as usual.
Action from the U13A and U13D games last week.
