VOLUNTEER APPEAL<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2014 Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g catered for over 400 active members (170 juvenile, 225 adult) and in 2015 we hope to grow that number. Crucially, however, we are not simply interested in developing our playing population. We are also interested in attracting volunteers who are interested in becoming coaches with the club and administrators of the club. <\/p>\n

Here at \u00c9ire \u00d3g we appreciate that not everyone can train a team, that not everyone is interested in coaching and that not everyone has time to attend committee meetings. That said there are plenty of very practical ways in which you can help your club work hard for the betterment of the local community, our children and our cultural heritage. <\/p>\n

We therefore encourage anyone in the community who supports the club and who is prepared to give of their time on a voluntary basis to get involved so that fresh faces can bring fresh ideas forward. If you take that brave first step over the threshold, we guarantee that you will not regret it. So, if you are interested in lending a hand drop us a line – contact<\/a> us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all identify with our own place. My place is Nenagh and I respect every man who is from every parish in Ireland who is identifying with his home. That\u2019s the breeding since the world was made. I see the club as nothing only a way of giving our locality an airing on the public stage. It gives the youth of our town an opportunity to play our games. That\u2019s what I see our club as\u201d – Jimmy Minogue<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n

Congratulations to Sin\u00e9ad Meagher who won the under-15 girls singles Liscarroll Open Tournament last week defeating Ella Donnellan of Clare in the final. It was a great win for Sin\u00e9ad and the club. Sin\u00e9ad also competed in the Broadford Tournament at the weekend, but had to retire with an injury in a super under-17 girls singles semi-final, again, against Ella Donnellan.<\/p>\n

Good luck to Cameron Spillane who will compete in the under-14 boys singles north semi-final following his recent win over Ballina opposition.<\/p>\n

CAMOGIE<\/p>\n

Registration Night:<\/strong> Our registration night is on Friday, January 23rd between 6pm and 8pm in the clubhouse. All welcome.<\/p>\n

Sympathies:<\/strong> We were all deeply saddened to learn of the untimely death of Pearse O\u2019Brien last week who hurled for the club from juvenile up to junior B until he emigrated to Australia two years ago. Pearse was a very popular young man who had a gift for bringing a smile to people’s faces. We extend our sympathies to his sister R\u00f3is\u00edn who played Camogie with us for many years and to the O\u2019Brien family, his relations and large circle of friends. Ar dheis D\u00e9 go raibh anam.<\/p>\n
