SCOR NA Bpaisti: A great night of entertainment took place in the Eire Óg Complex last Friday Night 18th January 2013 when 30 Children took to the Stage to participate in our Parish Final for Scor na Bpaistí. The judges on the night were very impressed with the talent that appeared before them. The success of the Night is down to the parents who helped out in any way and who encouraged the children to come forward and participate. Thanks are due to a number of people who gave up their time to guide the children in singing, dancing, music, drama and Question Time. A big Thank you to Shane Connolly and Nikki McCloone who looked after the figure dancers and Olive Kilgannon who took on the ‘Sean Nos’ Dancing (this is a new competition this year). This year we received great help from three young girls who took on the responsibility of Ballad Groups, Instrumental Group and Novelty Act. A big Thank you to Máire Long, Niamh Ryan and Alicia Hallinan. We look forward to even a greater number of participants next year and of course hope to get more help along the way. Our Area Final takes place next Friday Night in Templederry.

- Hard luck to St Marys who were beaten by a superb St Flannans side in the Munster Junior Final on Saturday last. Nenagh Eire Og had nine players on the starting fifteen which a few short years ago was an unimaginable statistic and shows how far we have come in our short history. The club wish to thank the teachers in St Marys for all their hard work in coaching the teams in the school. Its very generous of the teachers to volunteer their free time and its a gesture thats very much appreciated by everyone in the club.
- The St Marys senior team are due to play St Flannans in the Munster senior league final. At the time of going to press we don’t have the match details. Please check our Facebook page for details of this fixture.
