North Tipperary Under-14 Football Team
The Éire Ógres are back, the senior club championship draws, news of the County Board Gaeltacht schlorships and much, much more. Once again this week’s news are loaded, with news on the Blues
Senior Hurling Championship
County Championship
The draws have taken place for the 2019 Tipperary Water senior hurling championships and we have been paired in a group along with Burgess, Loughmore Castliney and Upperchurch Drombane. This group is going to be a baptism of fire for the club’s new management team. In 2018 we just about got over the line against Loughmore Castleiney in the county quarter-final and the Mid men will be out for revenge. Our last clash with Upperchurch Drombane was in 2013 and once again we were pushed right to the final whistle while neighbours Burgess are the reigning Seamus Ó’Riain cup champions and will be more than anxious to prove that their rightful home is in the Dan Breen Cup.
The full draw is as follows:
Group one: Nenagh Éire Óg, Loughmore Castleiney, Upperchurch Drombane, Burgess.
Group two: Toomevara, Clonoulty Rossmore, Borris-Ileigh, Moycarkey Borris.
Group three: Thurles Sarsfield’s, Kilruane MacDonagh’s, Éire Óg Annacarty, Killenaule.
Group four: Kiladangan, Drom & Inch, Roscrea, Portroe.

County Fixtures Plan 2019
Attached is the master fixtures plan for 2019.
Tipperary
Commiserations to Barry Heffernan, Jake Morris and the Tipperary senior hurlers who were defeated by Limerick in round two of the Allianz National Hurling League on Saturday night in the Gaelic Grounds 1-21 to 1-14. Barry scored a delightful first-half point which can be seen in the Tweet below. We wish Barry well as he had to retire early from the game after picking up an injury. Next up for Tipperary is a trip to the sunny South East as they play Wexford in Innovate Wexford Park on Sunday February 16th.

Please note the club recommending the successful applicant will be contributing €75 to the scholarship along with the Division, Co Board and Munster Council.
- Interviews for the scholarships will be held in Lár na Páirce during February to establish each candidate’s suitability.
- Once the student is notified that they have been successful they must secure a receipt for their fee payment from the Irish College where they have registered.

Participants at the Éire Ógres camp
Juvenile News
Well done to our Nenagh EBS sponsored Éire Ógres who completed day one of the GAA camp for beginners yesterday. There was a huge turn-out again and thanks must go to the mentors and parents who helped out. The biggest ‘thank you’ though must surely go to our newest stars! They were enthusiastic, positive, well behaved and full of fun. Nothing beats seeing the joy on a four year old’s face because he landed that ball in that bucket! We must get a photograph of that. Looking forward to seeing you all again next week!
