Challenge Cup: During the past week Nenagh Éire Óg played twice in the Clean Ireland Recycling County Senior Hurling Challenge Cup. At MacDonagh Park, Nenagh on Tuesday, March 17th the Blues enjoyed a 25-point win over Boherlahan-Dualla (4-24 to 0-11). For a full match report please see the club website. Nenagh Éire Óg were then drawn away to Moycarkey-Borris in the last eight of the Dr Fogarty Cup. On Saturday evening Éire Óg travelled to Littleton and won a hard-fought contest with Moycarkey-Borris on a 2-14 to 0-18 scoreline. Please see the club website for a full report on this encounter. The three remaining quarter-finals in the Dr Fogarty Cup took place on Sunday, March 22nd - Lorrha-Dorrha beat Cappawhite 3-18 to 2-9, Burgess beat Éire Óg Annacarty 3-16 to 0-13 and Mullinahone beat Moneygall 2-23 to 3-13.
