Tipperary
Our club members on the Tipperary Senior hurling panel, Jake Morris, Barry Heffernan and Josh Keller, concluded their championship run with a loss to Clare. Commiserations to all involved.
Meanwhile Sam O’Farrell and Mason Cawley, who play on the Tipperary u20 squad, brought home a Munster Championship title on the 24th of May, but unfortunately lost in the All- Ireland Final a week later.
Although there were some highs and lows for Tipperary hurling this year the future is bright, and here at Nenagh Éire Óg we are incredibly proud to have so many players involved on various panels.
Well done lads on the hard work and dedication you give to the county.

U10
Played Kiladangan on Wednesday night in Puckane. All the girls played three games each and had a great time. Training continues on Monday night 6pm.
U12
Had another busy week with our Navy team taking on a strong Toomevara team. The girls put up a great fight and were only one score behind at halftime before Toomevara eventually pulled away in the second half.
Our Blue team played Kiladangan and again even though the result did not go our way the girls gave a good account of themselves. Two more games for the girls this week against Borrisoleigh and Lorrha.
U14
We played away to Holycross Ballycahill last Thursday evening in their championship quarter final. They were just 0-4 to 0-3 up at half time and faced into a strong wind in the second half.
Despite sustaining serious pressure upfront, including two penalties, they came away with a win 2-4 to 0-4. There were some super performances all around the park but special mention must go to Lucyanne Cleary who scored 1-3 and goalkeeper Naoise Kelly who saved at least three clear goal chances including a penalty late in the second half. Next up is the semi final against Brian Borus, date and time to be confirmed.
