Well done to all the girls on a fantastic group stage.

A combined squad of Under-13, Under-12 and Under-11 players travelled to Newtownshandrum on Saturday, 27th June, to take part in the Mary Egan Memorial Under-13 Camogie Tournament.

It was a fantastic morning of camogie, providing a brilliant opportunity for the girls to test themselves against strong opposition while enjoying a great day out. The players represented themselves and Nenagh Éire Óg with great pride. Well done to everyone involved.

A sincere thank you to Majella Moran for organising the trip, and to all the coaches, parents, supporters and players who travelled and helped make it such a memorable and enjoyable day.

Minor

Our Minor girls welcomed Boherlahan Dualla to McDonagh Park last Wednesday for the opening round of the Minor A Championship. In very warm conditions, the girls produced a spirited and determined performance against a strong Boherlahan Dualla side.

Although the visitors built up a significant lead in the first half, Nenagh Éire Óg responded with a tremendous second-half display and battled right to the final whistle. While the comeback wasn’t enough to bridge the gap, the girls showed tremendous character, determination and teamwork throughout.

Final Score: Nenagh Éire Óg 9-3, Boherlahan Dualla 4-27.

Under-15 Boys – Féile Peil na nÓg All-Ireland 2026

Nenagh Éire Óg’s Under-15 boys competed in Division 3 of the Féile Peil na nÓg at Wolfe Tones Baile Eachaidh GAC. It proved to be a memorable day, filled with drama, determination and every weather condition imaginable. A strong swirling wind dominated throughout, making conditions difficult and demanding resilience from every player.

Group Stage

Oliver Plunketts (Louth)

Oliver Plunketts made the brighter start and held the advantage at half-time. Nenagh battled back bravely, but a torrential downpour turned the second half into a real test of character. Despite a determined effort, Plunketts held on for victory.

London GAA

Another closely contested game followed despite the challenging conditions. The turning point came when Nenagh’s goalkeeper was forced off through injury. London capitalised with two late goals to secure the win.

A sincere thank you to Mountmellick GAA for their outstanding sportsmanship in providing crutches for our injured goalkeeper, a wonderful example of the Féile spirit. Thanks also to Leigh Rivett for the excellent first-aid care provided throughout.

Bellaghy GAA (Hosts)

Bellaghy entered the game unbeaten and full of confidence. Nenagh defended superbly into the wind during the opening half, restricting the hosts’ scoring opportunities. Bellaghy found their rhythm after the break to secure victory, top the group and advance to the Cup semi-final, while Nenagh progressed to the Shield semi-final against Scotstown GAA of Monaghan.

Shield Semi-Final

Scotstown GAA (Monaghan)

With the rain finally giving way to sunshine, the players swapped raincoats for sunscreen, although the swirling wind remained a constant challenge.

Nenagh produced an excellent performance and remained firmly in contention until the closing stages before Scotstown pulled away. The result brought the curtain down on Nenagh’s Féile Peil 2026 journey, one filled with pride, commitment, friendship and lasting memories.

Appreciation

A sincere thank you to James, Joe, Seán and Dan for their dedication and guidance throughout the Féile campaign. Thanks also to James and Niall for the tremendous amount of organisation across both Féile weekends, particularly the trip to Derry. Our appreciation goes to Johnny Fortune for driving the team bus and keeping spirits high throughout the journey. Thank you to Tom and Murray for looking after the refreshments and ensuring everything ran smoothly behind the scenes. A special word of thanks to Peter and Paddy, whose work as kitmen was, as always, invaluable. Finally, sincere thanks to Leigh Rivett for providing first-class first-aid support throughout the day.

Well done to every player, mentor, volunteer and supporter who contributed to a fantastic Féile experience. Bringing the Féile journey to a close with an overnight trip full of laughter, teamwork and great memories was the perfect way to finish a wonderful adventure.
