A blast from the past from 1984, our new club WhatsApp group is up and running while our new community lotto is proving to be very popular. All this and more in this week’s news on the Blues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New Community Lotto<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We hope you and your families remain safe and well during these times and we want to thank you for your generous support for the old \u00c9ire \u00d3g lotto over the years. Before COVID-19 the jackpot for our lotto was at \u20ac2,100 and in order to close down the old model we are donating \u20ac1,000 between two very well deserving community charities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The new Friendly Lotto will operate as follows:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Starting jackpot \u20ac2,100 and will increase each week it is not won by \u20ac100<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Four numbers will now be drawn each week from numbers 1-32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Draw takes place every Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The week that the Jackpot is not won, \u20ac200 is placed into a separate draw fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Any week the jackpot is won, \u20ac200 is not added to the separate draw fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Ten tickets will be drawn weekly for 10 weeks to enter this separate draw. The prize fund at the end of this 10 weeks will be \u20ac2,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. A prize fund of \u20ac1,500 will be distributed as follows: \u20ac500 for 3 lucky winners with the additional \u20ac500 to one of our designated local charities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. A player may be drawn more than once in a 10 week period to qualify for the \u20ac500 draws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. The cost of each lotto ticket remains at \u20ac2 for one ticket and \u20ac5 for three tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Entry options:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

o 52 weeks (50 + 2 free)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o 25 weeks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

o 10 weeks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grass in the goalmouths<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With all the use our main pitch gets annually, it is unlikely anyone has ever seen grass growing in the goalmouths but due to the current lockdown, we are getting a glimpse at how quickly nature can heal with a lovely covering of grass in the goalmouths. Hopefully it won’t be long before it has been removed by goalkeepers manning the area!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1984 Tipperary shocked Offaly (how times have changed!), in front of 4,500 spectators, to record a 1-14 to 0-12 win in MacDonagh Park, Nenagh in the second round of the National Hurling League. Carrick Swan man Tom Waters scored the only goal of the game while our own Philip Kennedy came on as a second-half substitute. Both sides were plying their trade in division two at the time and Tipperary ended up winning the league and earning promotion to the top tier. Also in division two were Westmeath, Kerry, Dublin, Antrim, Kildare and Wicklow. By virtue of winning the division two league they also qualified for the knock-out stages of the main competition and defeated Laois 1-14 to 0-9 in the quarter final before Limerick defeated them in the semi-final, 2-10 to 1-10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included in this week’s notes is the match programme from the day which was produced by the senior club and all proceeds were donated to the \u00c9ire \u00d3g Nenagh juvenile club. Over 1,500 programmes were sold netting the club a tidy \u00a3450, a considerable sum in 1984. Indeed, it was very late on the night before that the staff in the Guardian managed to get it printed. As can be seen from the colour of the programme, it was very much an \u00c9ire \u00d3g Nenagh orientated publication with articles written by chairman Jerry Quinlan, Chris Middleton, Tommy Mulcahy and Martin O’Connor. The programme, through its advertisements, provides a snapshot of the local businesses at the time, some of which are still in operation today. The club would like to remind our members to please support local in these difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also wish to offer our condolences to the family and friends of Margaret (Peg) McCabe (n\u00e9e Sweeney), late of Ballyheigue, Kerry and Nenagh, Tipperary. Ms McCabe’s grandson Brendan (Bob) captained our minors to North and county honours in 2012. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week the under ten boys took part in a football competition. The boys were challenged to see how many kick passes to a partner they could complete in thirty seconds. The boy’s submitted video’s of themselves completing the challenge to their coaches. There was a prize for the best score and an open draw for all who entered for a further prize. The coaches created a video montage with some very en-trend music of all the entries which provided wonderful entertainment for everyone and is a available to see on the club social media sites.The winners of the prizes were Eibhin Darcy and Karl Boland, well done boys, congratulations and great work. Thank you to Kieran Mularkey for all your hard work on this event, great job and thank you to David Mularkey for assisting with his demonstration video. This week we look forward to a hurling challenge for the boys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
