Once again we wish to thank our army of selfless volunteers who have been busy purchasing groceries, fuel, delivering prescriptions and generally helping the vulnerable and over-70s in our community throughout the last three weeks.
It is during times of crises that we really see the benefit of a tight and caring community and the people of Nenagh and indeed our club, have been more than willing to put the shoulder to the wheel to help those in need.
Our volunteers will continue to provide these services for as long as is required and if you need any assistance please contact club coordinator Bartley Ryan on 086 735 8359.
On Saturday we held our very first online couch quiz with the wonders of technology bringing quizmaster Michael Cleary into our homes as he posed the questions using Zoom and participants sent in their answers using WhatsApp.
The evening began with Tipperary stars Grace O’Brien, Barry Heffernan and Jake Morris answering questions submitted by viewers before the first four rounds of the quiz.
Then we had another Q&A, this time with Racing 92 rugby star and former Éire Óg hurler Donnacha Ryan.
The club wishes to thank the organisers Shane Hennessy, James Mackey and Donnacha Quinn who put in trojan work to ensure the evening’s success. We also wish to thank the correctors Mikey Hallinan and Dáire Quinn.
We especially wish to thank our generous sponsors Anna Kelly, Joe Mulqueen (Andy Flynn’s), Costello’s Oil, Cleary’s Daybreak, Mattie Lillis and Sheedy’s Centra. Without their generosity the night would not have been the success it was and we remind all our players, supporters and members to please support our sponsors during these difficult times. We also wish to thank the two Barrys, Heffernan and Coffey for kindly donating jerseys for the raffle.
Congratulations go to Niall “Mousey’ Madden and Clodagh Cleary for winning the quiz with Helen O’Dwyer and Caoimhe Cannon finishing in second and third place.
Our juveniles have been challenged by our senior stars in recent weeks to complete a daily skills task and they have risen to any challenge put to them however, on Sunday the tables turned with the juveniles putting the challenges to our adult players and they have started with a real mean test.
They have demanded our senior players put on a GAA jersey. The challenge sounds simple until you realise that the player must be in a handstand position. Numerous videos of members of the club completing the tasks have been published to our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram accounts.
Well done to everyone who participated and provided us all with a good laugh.
The club wishes to express its sympathies to the family and friends of Colette O’Riordan, Roscommon who passed away recently. Ms O’Riordan’s son-in-law David Peters is heavily involved with our juveniles with her grandchildren playing for the club.
We also extend our sympathies to the family and friends of Paddy Whelan, Waterford. Mr Whelan’s daughter Nodlaig and grandchildren are also involved in the club.
We also wish to sympathise with the family and friends of Margaret Peggy Kennedy, Roscrea. Ms Kennedy’s husband Dan is a former chairman of the North Tipperary board and is currently on the County Hearings Committee.
We also wish to sympathise with the family and friends of Monica (Monnie) Hogan, Ballinderry. Ms Hogan was a great supporter of Shannon Rovers and rarely missed a match.
