Camogie Club Notes
The A G M of the club recently took place at the Nenagh Éire Óg Complex . The club had a very successful ending to the year with the Intermediate team winning the County final and therefore bringing the club into the Senior grade for the first time in the clubs short history of competing in adult Camogie, having only won the Junior B title in 2013. This came about through the hard work , dedication and vision of past and present committees and players, and the club are deeply grateful for their work and vision from the day the club was first formed . It wasn’t easy along the way and players who were less successful were very much part of the foundation stones of the Intermediate success late last year
The committee thanked all the coaches in the club who have given their time freely during the year . The new committee was formed with Catriona Morris as Chairperson , Marie Sheedy Vice Chairperson , Liam McGrath PRO , Liz Duggan Secretary , Séamie Morris PRO , Mark Hassett Child Welfare officer. The committee members are Kieran O Brien , Pat Sheridan, Denise Morris , Tom MacAuliffe , Louise Hickey and Catherine Kennedy . The club thanked two extraordinary committee members who were stepping away , Marie O’Brien who was given a presentation by the club for her incredible work as Treasurer and Enda O Sullivan was wished well in his new Role as PRO for Tipperary football . Both will be missed.
Registration Night . The registration night will be February 03 at MacDonagh Park . The senior camogie team will get together within the next fortnight. It is the clubs intention to have two adult teams this year so the club are looking for New Players and Management for all teams from U8 upwards please contact the Chairperson Catriona Morris at 087-7776135 if interested . The club will be setting up a Training fund for the Senior team so that there will be no stone left unturned as they prepare for the upcoming Senior league and championship . If you wish to contribute please contact Séamie Morris at 087-2859125 or any committee member . There will be further announcements regarding funding and sponsorship in the coming weeks. The club will be organising a medal presentation night for the Intermediate team in the coming weeks.
