The lotto has always been one of our main fundraisers and with our current club developments it is of great importance to us now that everyone continues to row in behind our lotto and we continue to increase the Nenagh Éire Óg online club lotto subscriptions. We are asking our juvenile families and supporters to play our club lotto online. It costs just €2 per week to play safely online and there are different payment plans available. If your not in, you cant win! The Jackpot is now at an attractive €7,200.
Please choose the ‘auto-renew’ option and also help family members who may not have an online presence to join. The link to join is available on the clubs web page so please sign up now and you will be included in the next draw.
Seniors
The Senior team travelled to Cashel on Saturday afternoon for the last round of the group games in the Championship. Despite missing some key players and the concession of a first minute goal the girls battled hard. At half time Nenagh trailed Cashel by 6 points. With 6 minutes remaining however, Nenagh found themselves ahead by 2 points after a supreme team effort. Unfortunately they could not hold out and were beaten by 2 points at final whistle. Final score Cashel 1-18 Nenagh Eire Og 3 -9. Scorers for Nenagh were Grace O’Brien 1- 7, Maeve Coffey 1-1, Caroline Browne 1- 0, Zoey Gratton 0- 1 . This squad continues to improve and as we enter the knockout stages, hope to cause a surprise or two before the season finishes.
Nenagh will meet Annacarty in the Senior Championship Quarter Final next Saturday 16th at 3.00 o clock in Annacarty.

We played our first u15 league game in Portroe Saturday morning last. A great effort from all the girls and some fine hurling for this time of year made it a winning start to this competition for the Nenagh girls. Next up is a home game v Silvermines next Sunday. Training continues at 7pm on Monday evening on the new AstroTurf pitch.
