Croke Cup semi final

MacDonagh Park was the venue for the Croke Cup semi-final on Saturday last between St Josephs, Tulla and St Kieran’s College, Kilkenny. This was one of the largest crowds in MacDonagh Park for a long time and we thank everyone who helped out on the day to ensure that everything ran smoothly.

Nenagh Éire Óg Gaelic Games Youth Academy

The first event in our Nenagh Eire Og Gaelic Games Youth Academy, sponsored by Albany Paint & Decor and Sportsman’s Dream, was a coaching workshop for coaches or potential club coaches from the senior hurling, juvenile club and camogie club which took place last night, Tuesday 8th March. This workshop, which was hosted by former National Director of Hurling Paudie Butler,  was a hurling wall workshop as we look to maximise coaching expertise on our wonderful new facility.

Other events will take place as part of this Academy which is a hugely exciting project and we are thrilled for all of the children involved with Nenagh Éire Óg who will derive immense benefit from these initiatives.

Easter camps.

Plans are underway to run Easter Camps, we will be releasing details in the coming weeks on this so watch this space.

Under 7

Our U7 boys continue their 8 week block of fundamental movement games on the new Astroturf pitch. We would love to see new faces, so any boys born in the years 2015/2016 please come along Saturday mornings at 9am to the Nenagh Eire Òg GAA Complex. No helmet or hurls are required and it’s a great way for the boys to burn off some of that Saturday morning energy! For further information please contact Alan on 087-7518789. Free tea/coffee/treats for parents during the training session.

Training continues on Saturday mornings at 10am for any boys born in 2013 and 2014. New boys are always welcome to join. Contact Cathal on 086 080 6460 or the club social media sites with any queries. Free tea/coffee/treats for parents during the training session.
