As always the edition features all the latest news, photos and match reports while a particular highlight is a look back at the 1993 under-21A county football final between the Blues and Aherlow. Ours thanks go to the club communications sub-committee, in particular Catherine McTiernan and Enda O’Sullivan, for piecing together this terrific publication. To download your copy of the September newsletter please visit the club website.
Leadership Initiative: During next week’s mid-term break Éire Óg will take part in the prestigious Dermot Earley Youth Leadership Initiative for young people between the ages of fifteen and eighteen. Five places are available and participants will be given a talk by Tipperary senior hurling captain Brendan Maher (Borris-Ileigh) and enjoy a trip to Croke Park, Dublin for the Ireland versus Australia international rules fixture in a few weeks’ time. This unique programme aims to foster a new generation of young Irish leaders. All participants who complete the course will be awarded a certificate in Youth Leadership and Community Action from the National University of Ireland, Galway. It would be fantastic to see more people from our club sign up for what promises to be a fulfilling, fun and rewarding programme. For more information please contact 083 334 3347.
