SENIOR

Senior: Nenagh Éire Óg stormed to a six-point win over Burgess (0-14 to 0-8) in Sunday’s replayed Hibernian Inn North Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship Final at MacDonagh Park, Nenagh. With eighteen minutes to play Burgess led 0-7 to 0-6, but the Blues dominated thereafter and hit eight points without reply to land the Frank McGrath Cup. John Brennan was named man of the match in the wake of the final while captain Noel Maloney collected the Frank McGrath Cup from North Board chairman John ‘Rocky’ McGrath.

Nenagh Éire Óg would like to thank the senior panel for the terrific manner in which they have represented the club, themselves and their families this year. Our thanks also go to the management team of Liam Heffernan (manager), John Fitzgerald (coach), Enda Costello (selector) and Noel Coffey (selector) for leading this panel of players to the Blues’ ninth north Tipperary senior hurling title.

Nenagh Éire Óg would like to wish Burgess all the very best in the county senior hurling championship. Éire Óg are not expected to return to action in the county championship until the week-ending October 12th.

Under-10: The under-10 team were in Toome on Saturday and had a great morning’s hurling playing Toome, Coolderry and Kilruane. Training on Wednesday only this week due to All-Ireland replay taking place on Saturday.

Under-13: Our under-13 hurlers travelled to Toomevara on Friday evening last for the third round of the league. The Blues held a three-point lead at half-time, but Toome got back in to the game early in the second half with three points of their own.
