Nenagh Eire Og Notes 17 May 2021

The fundraising for the new Hurling Wall and Astro Turf pitch will continue over the coming weeks as we try to meet our target for this phase of the project. We sincerely thank all of those who have donated to date and thanks also to our team of members who have worked hard over the past number of weeks organising these donations. 

With the contracts signed earlier in the week for this phase of the development and the work due to commence in the coming weeks, we ask that you please continue to make your donations, all donations are greatly appreciated.

Further information on this phase of the project/fundraising can be had from Liam Heffernan, Mary Jo O'Reilly or Anne Kennedy.

 

Our lotto jackpot last Monday night, May 17th was €5,100. We thank you all for your continued support of our lotto, those who wish to join can do so through the link on the club website - http://www.nenagheireog.com/ 

 

The deadline for the payment of membership is now 31st May. With both adults and juveniles back training since last week, we ask that all players please pay their membership immediately. Players will not be covered under the Player Injury scheme unless they have their membership paid. The link to pay is on the club website and all information on how to register for Foireann can also be found here. Membership can also be paid at training to mentors.

 

Well done to Barry Heffernan and Jake Morris who both started for Tipp in the drawn league game against Cork last weekend. Both were on the scoresheet with Barry scoring two points and Jake scoring a point. Tipp now meet Galway in Semple Stadium next weekend.

 

As businesses begin to open up after the long lay off, it is now more important than ever to support our local businesses. We have been very fortunate over the years to get great support from our local businesses and so we ask people to continue to shop local and support local.

 

Congratulations to Philip Ryan who won €200 in last week's Tipperary Draw. Our draw promoters will be collecting any outstanding monies for this year's draw over the next few weeks. The next draw will be held on Fri June 4th.

 

We were thrilled to welcome back to training all adult and juvenile groups last week. The joyous sound of children having fun and enjoying training that was absent from MacDonagh park for too long this season was happily restored last week.
