Croke Cup semi-final: MacDonagh Park was the venue for the Croke Cup semi-final on Saturday last between St Joseph’s, Tulla, and St Kieran’s College, Kilkenny. This was one of the largest crowds in MacDonagh Park for a long time and we thank everyone who helped out on the day to ensure that everything ran smoothly.

Youth academy: The first event in our Nenagh Éire Óg Gaelic Games Youth Academy, sponsored by Albany Paint & Decor and Sportsman’s Dream, was a coaching workshop for coaches or potential club coaches from the senior hurling, juvenile club and camogie club which took place on Tuesday, March 8.

This workshop, which was hosted by former national director of hurling Paudie Butler, was a hurling wall workshop as we look to maximise coaching expertise on our wonderful new facility.

Other events will take place as part of this academy which is a hugely exciting project and we are thrilled for all of the children involved with Nenagh Éire Óg who will derive immense benefit from these initiatives.
