After a sad weekend for the club, here is this week’s news<\/h1>\n

 <\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\n

It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of one of our all-time great clubmen in Tommy Mulcahy early on Saturday morning.<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"\"

Tommy in Croke Park in 2009<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tommy was everything a GAA volunteer should be: a coach, a mentor, a friend and someone who wasn\u2019t afraid to put his shoulder to the wheel when a job needed to be done.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
His influence on so many \u00c9ire \u00d3g hurlers, footballers and camogie players cannot be over stated. Hundreds of players have benefitted from his knowledge of Gaelic games over the years as he coached and managed numerous juvenile, adult and camogie teams. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
He gave a lifetime of service to the GAA at club, divisional and county level. He held every administrative role with Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g throughout his life. He served as chairman and secretary of St. Mary\u2019s Handball Club and held many positions at divisional Bord na n\u00d3g<\/em> level.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
An accomplished referee, he took charge of many underage and adult matches in both hurling and Gaelic football.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
One of his proudest moments came last summer when the All-Ireland winning Community Games team made a surprise visit to thank him for all the work he did with them when they first started playing hurling. <\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The influence of Tommy on Nenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g and the town in general simply cannot be measured. A real character there is no doubt that we will never see his likes again.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
In the photograph below he is standing proud, front and centre with the North Tipperary winning team of 1992 who ended a long famine and brought the Frank McGrath Cup back to the town.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
On behalf of everyone in the club we extend our sincerest sympathies to his family, friends and all who knew him.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div><\/h2>\n

We extend our congratulations to Mark Carey and Borrisokane CC who captured the Masita GAA Post Primary Schools’ Michael Cusack Cup final on Saturday when they defeated Colaiste na Coiribhe<\/em> in <\/em>Duggan Park, Ballinasloe 1-22 to 1-12. This is a fantastic achievement for all involved and helps demonstrate the strength of underage hurling in North Tipperary.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

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

Following last week’s loss to Loughmore Castleiney the senior hurlers got their league campaign back on track with a 2-18 to 1-10 win over Clonoulty Rossmore under lights on Friday evening in Clonoulty. Goals from Paddy Murphy and Tommy Heffernan helped propel the Blues to a fine win. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

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

Our junior-A hurlers defeated Toomevara 1-18 to 2-8 in the opening round of the North Tipperary league on Sunday afternoon with Adam Healy having a fine game helping himself to a personal tally of 1-3. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Junior-B Hurling<\/h2>\n

<\/div>\n

Our junior-B hurlers were comprehensively beaten by Portroe in the opening round of the league on Saturday, 3-23 to 0-4. We wish Thomas O’Brien and Liam Heffernan speedy recoveries from knocks they picked up in the game. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Junior Football<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Our junior footballers are back in league action next Sunday afternoon when Clerihan will visit MacDonagh Park for a 3pm throw in.<\/p>\n

Under-14 Football<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

The under-14 side, North Tipperary F\u00e9ile na nGael<\/em> champions, 2019<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Saturday was a very emotional day for the club and in particular for our under-14s footballers who learned of the passing of their very first coach Tommy Mulcahy prior to their North final against Ballina. Both teams stood for a very emotional, poignant and respectful minute’s silence and the young \u00c9ire \u00d3g men paid the ultimate tribute they possibly could to Tommy by capturing the F\u00e9ile Peil<\/em> title with panache and style adding to the to their F\u00e9ile<\/em> hurling title won on Monday last. The double within a week!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Our thanks go to a gallant Ballina team, referee Gareth Howard and his umpires and North BNG secretary Philip Delaney, who gave a touching speech about his memories from juvenile playing days of Tommy always being the first to greet teams at the dressing rooms. Team captain Sam O’Farrell, gave a wonderful speech and dedicated the win and trophy to his teams first coach Tommy. Well done to our boys. They are a credit to club and families.<\/p>\n
