ADULT
Senior: The Nenagh Éire Óg senior hurlers are this week appealing to supporters of the Blues to come out in force on Sunday, May 11th (throw-in 7.15pm) when Liam Heffernan’s men face the Templederry Kenyons in the first round of the Hibernian Inn North Tipperary Senior Hurling Championship. Although Éire Óg registered a 3-18 to 0-18 win over the Templederry Kenyons recently in the county championship everyone associated with the senior team has the utmost respect for Templederry and the Blues will have to be at their very best to get a result in Cloughjordan.

Community Games: Hard luck to our under-10 and a half hurlers who were beaten by a strong Borris-Ileigh team during the week.
Under-12: Hurling training continues on Mondays at 5.30pm and Wednesdays at 6.30pm. We would welcome all new players born 2002-03 who have an interest in hurling to come along to training and enjoy a great summer.
Under-14: The under-14 footballers travelled to Toomevara on Wednesday night last to take on the home team in the north Tipperary football semi-final. Éire Óg had wind advantage in the first half and despite having most of the possession, failed to convert on the scoreboard and only held a two-point advantage at the break. However, the Blues performed much better in the second half and came out on top on a scoreline of 0-9 to 0-1 with the score of the game coming from the boot of Conor Sullivan. Scorers: Scott O’Brien (0-4), Seán Phelan (0-2), Stevie Hallinan, Luke O’Carroll & Conor Sullivan 0-1 each. We play Inane Rovers in the final on May 14th.
Under-16: Well done to our under-16 footballers who won a tough north Tipperary semi-final on Monday evening last against Inane Rovers in Roscrea – the final score was 4-9 to 3-5. The lads face Newport in the final which will be held this weekend. Please keep an eye on nenagheireog.com for fixture details.
The Blues’ 10K Run: Nenagh Éire Óg Juvenile Club will hold an AAI approved 10K Run and 5K Run and Family Walk on Sunday, June 15th starting in MacDonagh Park, Nenagh at 10.30am. Please click here for more details:

Under-12: The under-12s had no game this weekend, but they should be playing this forthcoming weekend. Please contact management for further details.
Under-14: There is a possibility that the under-14s will have a game this Saturday. Management will be in contact during the week with details.
Under-16: Our under-16s travelled to Newport last Thursday in the second round of the championship and despite a great effort we were unfortunately defeated by four points. That concludes our games until after the Junior Certificate. We wish all our players studying for state exams the best of luck in their study over the next few weeks.
