Seniors
Our Seniors faced the challenge of Annacarty at home on Saturday in the Senior Championship. It was a very close game with point for point by each team in the first half and Annacarty just ahead on 8 points to 7 at halftime.
The second half saw Annacarty pull away by 6 points but Nenagh fought back to level the game. A great tally from Grace O’Brien who scored 1.08 and points from Zoey Gratton,
Kerrie Howard, Caroline Browne, and Michelle Collins showed the potential this young Nenagh team has.
The final score was 1.12 to 1.12.

Minors
It was a case of “what might have been” for our minors who bowed out of the minor championship on Thursday evening in Gortnahoe. The girls made a great start, scoring 1-3 in the first 15 minutes. However, the scores dried up for Nenagh thereafter while Gortnahoe took their opportunities, going on to win by 4 points.
The management team would like to thank all the girls for their efforts over the past few weeks. After a couple of years with no minor team, it was important for the club to field a team again and the girls did us proud.
Well done to Laura Nagle who finished up her season with the Tipperary U16B team with a match against Cork at the weekend.
