U16: Our U16 hurlers won the North final last Saturday in Cloughjordan by defeating Roscrea on a scoreline of 4-21 to 0-9. Nenagh started well and were 2 points up before Roscrea had 3 scores in succession to take the lead. After a Nenagh goal, Roscrea rallied again to leave 1 point between the teams but we finished the half strongly to lead 2-10 to 0-6 at HT. In the 2nd half, we scored 2 early points followed by a goal which effectively ended the game as a contest. The backs provided our forward line with great quality ball which enabled us to take some good scores. Well done to team captain Andrew Coffey and the team and the management team of Eamon O’Brien, John Manley, Christy McLoughlin and Michael Grey for their great work.
