Well done to our Junior As who made it four wins from four when they defeated KIlruane in the final round of the group stage of the championship on Saturday last. The score in the game was 1-22 to 1-14 with Cian Crowley getting the goal. In topping the group we now go on to play Kilruane the the North semi final - this game is due to take place on Sunday 3rd October.

Under 13
Under 13D team qualified for the North final after a great battle with Toomevara last Wednesday evening in Dolla. This was the teams ninth championship game this year and the panel have gone from strength to strength since we returned from the Covid break. The boys next play Newport in the final on Wednesday evening in Portroe at 5:45 and hope that they are well supported on the evening.
Under 13A team were defeated by Newport in their semi final in the plate competition in Ballina last Tuesday evening. After a very competitive thirty minutes by the boys Newport pulled away in the last ten minutes to run out convincing winners. Well done to both panels who have shown great commitment and dedication at training all year.
Under 15
Under U15 hurlers bowed out of the championship at the quarter final stage last Thursday against a strong Borrisoleigh side. Despite conceding first half goals and facing an uphill battle the team continued to fight to the very end. This group will now play the semi final of the Plate on Thurs evening at 5.45 in Nenagh with Silvermines providing the opposition.
Under 17
Following a great victory over Roscrea in the North semi final last week, our minor team went on to play Toomevara in a repeat of last year’s final on Sunday evening in Kilcolman. After an extremely tight battle which went to extra time the Nenagh boys, scoring a late goal, emerged as winners and the title of the North Tipperary Under 17A champions. Congratulations to the boys on a wholehearted determined performance that earned the win ultimately. Congratulations to Greg Browne and his entire backroom team who facilitated this group in achieving this gallant win.
