League heartbreak for our senior cam\u00f3gs, the greatest hurler in Nenagh is revealed while our footballers lose out to Portroe in the John Kissane Cup. All of this and more in this week’s news on the Blues<\/h1>\n

Senior Hurling<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Our senior hurlers have entered this year’s Hogan Cup and have been drawn in Group 2 alongside Ballina, Kiladangan and Roscrea. Please keep an eye on the fixtures section of the website for details of these upcoming games.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Junior-A Hurling<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Our junior-A hurlers were made work all the way by a superb Kilruane MacDonaghs side in Puckane on Saturday evening in the North semi-final. Trailing for long periods of the game it took a great second-half goal from captain Bob O’Brien to give the Blues the edge before winning out. The lads now look forward to the North final where they will face Toomevara.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Junior-C Hurling<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Our junior-C hurlers completed the round-robin section of the championship with a 3-9 to 3-3 win over Ballinahinch in MacDonagh Park on Sunday morning with Shane Flynn (2) and Se\u00e1n McTiernan grabbing the all-important goals. Nenagh have now finished on top of the group and look forward to the semi-final.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

John Kissane Cup<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Due to Covid-19, it was impossible for the committee of the John Kissane football sevens to organise a competition this year so on Friday morning it was decided that the winners of Sunday evening’s junior football challenge between Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g and Portroe, clubs that he coached, would be presented with the John Kissane Cup. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

On the night Portroe prevailed and captain Kevin O’Halloran gave a lovely speech afterwards where he praised the work John Kissane put into both clubs over the years.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

In the North junior-B championship, we have been drawn to play the losers of Moneygall and Burgess in the quarter-final. <\/p>\n

Under-14<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

So close and yet so far for our Under 14A boys in their Plate Final V Kilruane last Thursday evening. It was a heartbreaking defeat in MacDonagh park for this brilliant group of boys from \u00c9ire \u00d3g as they were pipped at the post by a last minute goal from Kilruane. The \u00c9ire \u00d3g side fought every inch of the way in what was a whole hearted effort from the boys. Nenagh got off to a good start and clocked up some fantastic scores, however, goals from Kilruane kept their side in touch. The game was level in the final minutes and momentum seemed to be with Nenagh but as the clock entered the final minute of the game another goal came for Kilruane. Nenagh battled to pull the score back but after registering a point in reply that was to be the final score for the match. Congratulations to Kilruane who never gave up. Commiserations to this fabulous group of \u00c9ire \u00d3g boys, they are a joy to watch and give everything each time they take to the field. There is a very bright future ahead for this group, their time will come, we have no doubt.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/div>
\nCongratulations to our fabulous Under 14 hurlers who won the 2020 Presidents cup in a convincing manner with a win over Burges this evening in a sun drenched MacDonagh Park.<\/p>\n

The \u00c9ire \u00d3g boys started well, grew into the game and dominated in most positions which gave the platform to build numerous attacks and rattle the Burges net on many occasions.<\/p>\n

It was wonderful to have \u00c9ire \u00d3g Club president Jimmy Morris on hand to make the presentation of the President’s Cup to the Nenagh joint Captains.<\/p>\n

Jimmy was accompanied by fellow club presidents Ger Gavin, Paudie O’Kennedy and Mick Burns.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all involved in making this evenings game a great success.<\/p>\n

Thank you to Burges for the game.<\/p>\n

Thank you to the management group of this great bunch of hurlers who have provided so much joy and entertainment all season. It was a delight to close this years hurling on a positive note for this team.<\/p>\n
