Juvenile Notes

Easter Camp

We had the most fantastic few days of  Easter Camp 2025. 

The children were so happy and excited to be having such fun at the various activities with their friends and in the glorious weather too, what better way to enjoy the Easter holidays.

Terrific feedback coming in from parents on how much the camp was enjoyed by the children and how fantastic the coaches were with the children. 

We can’t wait to go again with our Summer Camp in August and very much look forward to seeing everyone back at the next camp. 

We had a number of new children join the camp to try Gaelic Games and we are excited to see all the new faces over at training in the coming weeks. 

A huge thanks must go to Shane, his coaching team and helpers from the club, what an amazing team you all made. 

As ever, our camps would not be the same without Pat McCormack, he is a pivotal figure in our promotion of Gaelic Games activities around Nenagh and knows every child by name, thanks Pat for all you do. 

Thank you to John Quirke, franchisee of McDonalds Nenagh for the generous support of this year’s Easter Camp.

John came along to the final day of the Easter camp to present each of the children with a complimentary voucher for a McFlurry after all of their effort and participation in the camp over the three days.

John & the team at McDonalds were thrilled & excited to hear that with this sponsorship support the Éire Óg Juvenile Club will be able to augment their schools coaching program and cross community promotion of Gaelic Games thereby facilitating more children from the Nenagh community and surrounds to be able to participate in Gaelic games, increase their physical activity and consequently overall well-being. 

We thank John and McDonalds for their kind sponsorship.

Thank you to Nenagh Éire Óg senior club sponsors Specsavers Nenagh for the thoughtful gesture of dropping in goodie bags for all of the children who attended our Easter Camp, it was a lovely surprise.

Peil na nÓg 

Well done to both teams who participated in the Peil na nÓg competition at the weekend. 

Team 1 played in Division 1 and played Cashel, JK Brackens & Clonmel Óg. With one loss and two wins the boys advanced to the group semi final against Newport who were the stronger outfit on the day. A great days effort from the boys.

Team 2 played in Division 7 Group B and played Clonmel Óg, Boherlahan, Dúrlas Óg and Newport. Results were two draws and two losses.

Well done to all involved.

Camogie Notes 

Intermediate 

The Intermediate Camogie team travelled to Newport on Saturday morning last to play the 2nd round of the League against Newport/Ballinahinch. 

Newport settled quicker and had some good interchanges to pick off some early scores. The Nenagh girls got their game going however and, playing with the wind in the first half, we began to work the ball well into the full forward line, who held it up well. Two well-worked goals, finished to the net by Sarah Quigley and Megan Grace saw the girls lead at half time 2-3 to 0-6.

Facing into a strengthening wind, our backs and midfield excelled in the second half, keeping Newport forwards to only scoring from frees. At the other end, a long range free from Rachel Maher was deflected to the Newport net. Another point was added and our backs held firm to win by 2 points.

Final score Newport/Ballinahinch 0-11 Nenagh Éire Óg 3-4.

The next league game is at home to Kilruane McDonaghs on Saturday April 19th at 6pm.

Healthy Club 

A Nenagh Éire Óg group participated in the Limerick Parkrun, University of Limerick campus on Saturday 7th December. 

This was Event 5, the final event of the Healthy Club FIVE x FIVE Challenge.

Unfortunately, Storm Darragh interfered with the group’s plan for this event as Storm Bert did on 23rd November! Many of the regulars over the last few weeks were disappointed to miss the last offical event but no doubt they will be on the move again some Saturday soon! 

Despite the weather challenges, 108 Parkrun participants took part in Limerick, including 5 from Nenagh Éire Óg! The Limerick course starts and finishes at the UL Boathouse. It takes participants down the riverbank on a woodland trail and over some lovely old humpback bridges. The fast flowing River Shannon is an energising backdrop for most of the way. All are looking forward to doing this course again.

A big thank you to Eileen Reeves (Run Director) and all the volunteers for hosting our Éire Óg group on Saturday. We very much appreciate all the unseen work that takes place to make events like these happen every weekend. 

Thanks to all at Delish Café, Castletroy, for a super breakfast, hospitality, and the lovely decorated Christmas table too! We will come back post-Parkrun with our larger group soon. 

A special word of thanks to Éilis for leading the ‘Couch to 5k’ programme, and for all of her good humoured motivation at the ‘Meet and Train’ group and parkruns since October. Míle buíochas!

The FIVE x FIVE challenge has ticked all the boxes for the ‘Five Ways to Wellbeing’ promoted by the GAA Healthy Club project and Mental Health Ireland:  *Be Active, Learn, Connect, Give, and Take Notice.* The group have made huge gains in fitness and self-belief, socialised with new people, learned about new places, engaged in great conversation, witnessed massive volunteering efforts, and had lots of fun over the last few weeks!

The focus turns to Christmas now.. and then the Nenagh Éire Óg walking/jogging/running ‘ Ireland Lights Up’ initiative in the new year! 

Keep an eye on Nenagh Éire Óg social media for details. All are welcome to join in to walk, jog, run or support. 

Honouring Heroes 

Michael and John Darcy attended a special event at Croke Park to honour the Dublin hurling team who defeated Galway in the 1924  All-Ireland final – played on Jones’s Road 100 years ago this year.

On that team was Mick Darcy, the first Nenagh man to win an All- Ireland medal.

Camogie Notes 

Congratulations to Grace Cleary & Carly Walsh joining the Tipperary U16 A Camogie for the 2025 season.

We are very proud of the role models they are for the younger girls and the excellence they display on the pitch playing for club and county.

Wishing all members and supporters of Nenagh Éire Óg a very merry Christmas and a happy new year 🥳
