Fixtures: Please keep a close eye on the club website and on the club’s various social media channels for all the latest updates on fixtures and results.

Website & Social Media: In 2014 (correct to December 1st) the Nenagh Éire Óg website attracted 60,804 page impressions, 15,748 unique users and visitors from 97 different countries. Our Twitter and Facebook following is also increasing by the week. Nenagh Éire Óg would like to thank supporters of the Blues for such magnificent support.

Lotto: Congratulations to Ann Kennedy (Tullaheady) who won the Nenagh Éire Óg club lotto jackpot of €2,600. The €50 lucky dip winners were: Tom Walsh (Rathnaleen) & Damien Lawlor (Kilruane). Next lotto draw on Monday, December 8th - jackpot €1,000. Please support the Blues and play our club lotto.

Volunteer Appeal: In 2014 Nenagh Éire Óg catered for over 400 active members (170 juvenile, 225 adult) and in 2015 we hope to grow that number. Crucially, however, we are not simply interested in developing our playing population. We are also interested in attracting volunteers who are interested in becoming coaches with the club and administrators of the club. Here at Éire Óg we appreciate that not everyone can train a team, that not everyone is interested in coaching and that not everyone has time to attend committee meetings. That said there are plenty of very practical ways in which you can help your club work hard for the betterment of the local community, our children and our cultural heritage. We therefore encourage anyone in the community who supports the club and who is prepared to give of their time on a voluntary basis to get involved so that fresh faces can bring fresh ideas forward. If you take that brave first step over the threshold, we guarantee that you will not regret it. So, if you are interested in lending a hand drop us a line.
