COME ON NENAGH AND BRINGOUR MOTHERS"!!!!!!! A strangeattle cry but one that was veryommon in the 1940s amongupporters of Nenagh hurling. Athe time, due to rationing and Themergency, transport was rare.etrol was limited to importantervices such as doctors andriests. Unfortunately hurling

wasn't considered an importantervice so many hurlers from theown had to walk (only a few hadicycles) to matches. If we werelaying outside the parish it was

often a walk of a couple of hoursto the venue (away games toLorrha and Borrisoleigh must havebeen a killer). Nenagh had a hugefollowing at the time, among whichwas many of the players"mammys". They used to bringfood with them to the game andwould feed the players prior to thematch to re-energise them afterthe walk or cycle and so the townsupporters created the battle cry

"Come on Nenagh and bring yourmothers".

mon O Kennedy grabbing theals. This set up a semi-final clashh Silvermines in Toomevara onptember 10th. The Blues won thiscounter 3-06 to 1-06. At half timengs did not look good for Nenaghwe trailed by a point and were

duced to fourteen men but theroduction of evergreen hero,ttie Ryan swung things in our

vour and we dominated thecond half to set up a final clashh great rivals Toomevara whoat us 0-14 to 1-08 in the previousars decider.this final Nenagh won on a

oreline of 2-13 to 0-06 "with flaird a fair measure ofcomplishment" wrote Jerry Slevinyed in beautiful conditions on arfect pitch, Nenagh startedghtly with points from Jason

vin and Billy Flannery in theening minutes. Toomevaraminated the rest of the half andhout the brilliance of FrankGrath at wing back and a superbve from goalkeeper Darraghinn in the sixth minute fromrnard Hackett "the greyhounds"uld have opened up a wide

argin on the scoreboard. In factinjury time point from Mark

eehan levelled the sides.the second half little separated

the sides until the inspirationalswitch of Mervyn Scanlon to centreforward. The Toome defence startedto panic such was the influence ofScanlon and resorted to fouling tokeep the Nenagh attack at baywhich fell right into the hands ofsharp shooter Billy Flannery who

notched over five second half frees.In the 54th minute Nenagh got theirfirst goal from full forward JasonNevin and the second goal arrivedcourtesy of Eamon O Kennedyapproaching the final whistle. Thebiggest cheer of the day came whenMattie Ryan, introduced as a secondhalf substitute, scored a point withfive minutes remaining. Nenaghtotally dominated the second halfand such was their brilliance on the

day that Toomevara only had oneman on the score sheet, namelyBernard Hackett. This win set up asemi-final clash UpperchurchDrombane in Templemore. Thisturned out to be a dramatic affairwith Nenagh winning 5-11 to 5-09,Jason Nevin and Eamon O Kennedyboth grabbed two goals each to setup a county final clash with SouthChampions Carrick Swans inDrombane. Unfortunately Nenaghs

youthful side, the majority of which

were under 23, came a croppeagainst a wily and experiencedSwan outfit. This was a toughencounter with numerous stoppfor injuries and bookings, andNenagh's cause was not helpedthe unfortunate sending off of captain Declan Nolan, and his

immediate counterpart TonyFitzpatrick. Indeed Nolans senoff led to a vicious assault on aunsuspecting jacket behind thegoal!!! Nenagh fought gallantlythroughout and regretfully misnumber of chances and it finish07 to 0-06 for Carrick Swans.Another sad note on this day wthat it marked the last time MaRyan donned the light blue jersfor Nenagh. No one is quite sur

As a former field hockeylayer his first instinct was to pickp a hurley and play with theeighbours and he hasnt stoppedurling since. With little spokennglish to help him make friends,

is hurley has introduced him toll the boys in the area and now

that he is on the ire g U12team, he has met many futureclass-mates as he starts school inSeptember. Diogo featuredstrongly in the U12 North Finalrecently but unfortunately theboys were beaten by a strongTemplederry team. He has anotheryear at this grade so we may seehim hold that cup yet. Welcome to

Nenagh, Diogo.
