Our Under 9 stars hosted Durlas Óg on Saturday morning in MacDonagh park in the beautiful warm Autumn sunshine. Our boys have developed their skills and ability really impressively over the summer and this was very evident during Saturday’s blitz as spectators were treated to three very competitive and entertaining games.
Well done to the Nenagh Éire Óg boys, who were all fantastic. Thank you very much to Durlas Óg for making the trip over to Nenagh and providing great opposition. Thanks to the older Éire Óg boys who stood in goals to make the numbers work, Evan, Robbie and Senan, thanks boys.

Under 15
Our Under 15 footballers took part in this year’s Feile Peil on a scorching Saturday afternoon. The competition opened on a positive note as the boys beat the favorites Ardfinnan in our first match by four points. Unfortunately, we went down to a very physical Knockmealdown side in our second match. Although all three teams finished with a win each, Éire Óg were eliminated on goals scored. All in all two great performances from the boy’s who represented their club with great skill and endeavor.
Training will continue on Tuesday and Thursday in preparation for the knockout stages of the competition.
