The club has hosted National League fixtures and various other high-profile fixtures while our handball alley has been the venue for many provincial and All-Ireland championships. The club grounds at MacDonagh Park have undergone a long history of development to arrive at what today is a sports and leisure complex that club members and the community generally can be proud of. Indeed, Sunday, September 27th 1942 saw the fulfillment of the hopes and dreams of a number of staunch GAA people in Nenagh and throughout north Tipperary when the club grounds situated at MacDonagh Park, Nenagh were officially opened. The whole project cost \u00a32,510 at that time. The first committee were: Chairman Frank McGrath, Vice-Chairman Tomas Cleary, Secretary Martin Gleeson, Treasurer Patrick McGrath. Committee: Patrick Hackett, Matt Hogan, Pat Crowe, Michael Brennan, James Mackey, Dan O\u2019Keeffe, John Dwyer, Con Cleary, WJ Chadwick, James O\u2019Sullivan, Tomas Costello, J Rice and Michael Moylan. In March 1987 a committee under the guidance Ger Gavin and other club officers including Jimmy Morris (Treasurer) and Jimmy Minogue (Secretary) set out with the aim of building a facility which reached fruition in 1989 when \u2018The Complex\u2019 was officially opened by GAA President John Dowling. The committee that made this possible comprised of people from all walks of life within the parish. Their dedication and commitment could not be equaled and they can, without question, take their proud place in the club\u2019s history. In 1997 a magnificent new stand was added and officially opened by GAA President Joe McDonagh. Meanwhile in 2005, a state-of-the-art hurling alley was added to complete what is today a sports and social facility the people of Nenagh and the community at large are very proud of.<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><a name=\"Hurling In Nenagh\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n<h4>Hurling In Nenagh<\/h4>\r\n<p>Hurling enjoys a storied history in Nenagh. Indeed, the game was played in the town long before the Gaelic Athletic Association was founded. The first game played under the new rules after the founding of the GAA was between a Nenagh team, John Mitchell\u2019s, and a Lorrha selection. However we have to wait until 1915 for Nenagh to win its first senior title (North Tipperary) when they defeated Moneygall in the final. Some of the names to feature on that team were: Frank McGrath, Billy Flannery, Bill Coonan, Mick Egan and Martin Ayres. Following 1915 and a troubled period in Irish history hurling it was not until 1926, with the emergence of the Red Rovers, that hurling came to the forefront again. This Red Rovers team was drawn from a small area of the town around the Birr Road and the Turnpike. The team was drawn from a small number of families with very many brothers being involved. They subsequently changed their name to \u00c9ire \u00d3g. Some of the prominent players from that period were Bobby and Tucker Morgan, Chris Kennedy, Dick Hogan, Paddy Rohan and John &#8216;Hyder&#8217; Ryan. The old Nenagh club was still in existence at this time and drawn mainly from around Pound Street. There were many sterling duels between these two teams. It was after witnessing one such duel that a local curate Fr Hayes decided to try to amalgamate the two teams &#8211; he succeeded and the clubs were united in 1947 under the name St Mary\u2019s. The new club had instant success winning the north intermediate title and county junior title in its first year. Some of the people involved in this new St Mary\u2019s team were Jack Nolan, Billy O\u2019Brien, Eddie John McGrath, Tom Brophy, Jimmy Spearman, Toddy Bolger, Chris Kennedy and Bart Coffey. They contested a north senior final in their early years, but success at senior level eluded St Mary\u2019s. There were however many successes at minor level with one particularly noteworthy occasion in the 1950s when St Mary&#8217;s won the north minor hurling and football titles on the same day with 11 of the hurlers going straight back onto the field to assist in winning the football final. St Mary\u2019s survived as a club until the mid-1950s when, during a low period, it was decided at an AGM to change the club\u2019s name to \u00c9ire \u00d3g. The first big success for this club came when it won the north senior championship in 1957 and again in 1964. The club has since won north senior titles in 1992, 1993, 1998, 2001, 2009 and a county senior hurling title in 1995.<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><a name=\"Inter-County Players\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n<h4>Inter-County Players<\/h4>\r\n<p>St Mary\u2019s and \u00c9ire \u00d3g have supplied many<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"221\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-277\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nenagheireog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Hugh-Maloney-221x300.jpg\" alt=\"Hugh Maloney\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nenagheireog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Hugh-Maloney-221x300.jpg 221w, https:\/\/www.nenagheireog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Hugh-Maloney.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 221px) 100vw, 221px\" \/> players to Tipperary teams, especially at minor level. It was a common occurrence during the 1940s and 1950s to have two and three players from the club represent Tipperary at minor level and many of these Tipperary teams won All-Irelands. At senior level the most prominent player from the club is of course Mick Burns who holds five All-Ireland senior medals (1958, 1961, 1962, 1964 &amp; 1965) and Johnny McGrath who was a member of the 1958 All-Ireland winning team. Many other players from the club have played senior with Tipperary down through the years, but 1989 stands out as a milestone for the club with three players &#8211; namely John Heffernan, Conor O\u2019Donovan and Michael Cleary &#8211; featuring on the Tipperary team that finally bridged an 18-year gap to capture an elusive All-Ireland title. It is also interesting to note that Kevin Coonan was the first player from \u00c9ire \u00d3g to captain an All-Ireland winning football team when he captained the Tipperary junior football team to success in 1998. The club were also represented on this team by Chris Bonnar and Jim McAuliffe while Martin Healy was a selector. In 2010 \u00c9ire \u00d3g&#8217;s Hugh Maloney and Michael Heffernan were members of the Tipperary panel which so famously dethroned Kilkenny in the All-Ireland final. In 2016, \u00c9ire Og were represented on the Munster and All-Ireland winning Tipperary Senior Panel by Barry Heffernan and Daire Quinn.&nbsp;The same year&nbsp;also saw Andrew Coffey claim a spot on the U21 Team of the Year for his performances with Tipperary, and Jake Morris play a leading role with the Tipperary Minor team who won Munster and All-Ireland titles, with Jake winning the man of the match in the Munster final.<\/p>\r\n<center><em>Pictured above right is \u00c9ire \u00d3g&#8217;s Hugh Maloney who has played on eighteen occasions for the Tipperary senior hurling team.<\/em><\/center><hr>\r\n<p><a name=\"Handball\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n<h4>Handball<\/h4>\r\n<p>Great credit is due to Boysie Hogan, Eamon Spillane and Christy Collins for re-organising the handball section of the club and coaching the boys and girls. The town of Nenagh is renowned for its handball champions. The game flourished and set a high standard particularly during the years 1930 to 1960. Handball in the 1920s was played at the alley in Pidgeon\u2019s Land, Silver Street. Then the Shamrock Club 3 Ball Alley in Silver Street, to which a back wall was added, was the main source of action. Many of the town\u2019s champions sprung from this court. The CBS Alley in John\u2019s Lane was a great nursery and played a big part in developing many of the champions from the &#8217;40s to &#8217;60s. Indeed, in acknowledgement of the contribution to handball in the town Nenagh UDC in 2001 erected a plaque on the wall at Shannon Development (Shamrock Club) in Silver Street in honour of the All-Ireland handball champions of Nenagh from 1934-2000. They were: Joe Hassett, Ned Hassett, Joe Bergin, Paddy Kennedy, Jackie Sweeney, Connie Cleere, Michael O\u2019Gorman, Michael McMahon, Denis Carey, John Rice, Tommy Cleere, Paddy Gleeson, Michael &#8216;Boysie&#8217; Hogan and Pat Cleary. Due to the lack of a court in Nenagh for a long number of years handball has not been developing as we would wish however Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g had the foresight to include a very modem 40 x 20 court in the Complex at MacDonagh Park.<\/p>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><a name=\"Divisional Hurling Championships\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n<h4>Divisional Hurling Championships<\/h4>\r\n<p><strong>Adult<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Senior Hurling (9): 1915, 1957, 1964, 1992, 1993, 1998, 2001, 2009, 2014.<\/li>\r\n<li>Intermediate Hurling (1): 1947 (St Mary\u2019s).<\/li>\r\n<li>Junior A Hurling (8): 1953, 1962, 1983, 1999, 2000, 2009, 2012, 2014.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-21A Hurling (7): 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1993, 1994, 2015.<\/li>\r\n<li>Minor Hurling (21): 1938, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1951, 1953, 1955, 1969, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1989, 1991, 1992, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><strong>Juvenile<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Under-16A Hurling (15): 1972, 1975, 1979, 1982, 1988, 1990, 1992, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2015.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-15 Hurling (3): 1968, 1969, 1970.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-14A Hurling (11): 1972, 1973, 1974, 1978, 1988, 1996, 2003, 2005, 2009, 2010, 2011.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-13 Hurling (3): 1966, 1967, 1970.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-12A Hurling (6): 1972, 1984, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2007.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-12C Hurling (2): 2004, 2005.<\/li>\r\n<li><em>F\u00e9ile na nGael&nbsp;<\/em>(1): 2019<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><a name=\"County Hurling Championships\"><\/a><\/p>\r\n<h4>County Hurling Championships<\/h4>\r\n<p><strong>Adult<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Senior Hurling (1): 1995.<\/li>\r\n<li>Intermediate Hurling: 1947 (St Mary\u2019s).<\/li>\r\n<li>Junior A Hurling (2): 1983, 2000.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-21A Hurling (5): 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1993.<\/li>\r\n<li>Minor A Hurling (8): 1969, 1977, 1978, 1991, 1992, 2008, 2012, 2013.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><strong>Juvenile<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Under-16A Hurling (5): 1975, 1979, 1982, 1988, 1990.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-14A Hurling (7): 1972, 1973, 1974, 1988, 2003, 2009, 2010.<\/li>\r\n<li>Under-12A Hurling (4): 1984, 2002, 2006, 2007.<\/li>\r\n<li>Community Games A Hurling (2) 2018, 1988<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<hr>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"483\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nenagheireog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Minor1992-1024x483.jpg\" alt=\"Minor1992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nenagheireog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Minor1992-1024x483.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nenagheireog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Minor1992-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nenagheireog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Minor1992.jpg 1212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<center><em>Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g &#8211; Tipperary county minor A hurling champions 1992.
