Some of the volunteers from Nenagh Hockey Club who helped out at the club’s open day
Fresh from having received their Texaco Support for Sport award for Tipperary, Nenagh Hockey Club hosted an open day at their club facility on Dromin Road.
Open to All with attendees from many community groups as well as the broader region, the day was hailed as a huge success.
Families were invited to take part in all the fun activities and have a fun introduction to the sport of hockey.
Nenagh HC, which was re-established in 2019 is an inclusive club, Munster Hockey’s Youth Development Winners 2023 as well as the Tipperary Winners of this year's Texaco Support for Sport, which saw them awarded €5,000 for their community initiatives.
Volunteers on the day included players form the club’s Under 18, Under 16, U14 and Junior Boys’ team.
“Nenagh Hockey Club is thrilled to have been selected as the Tipperary Winner for this year’s Texaco Support for Sport. These generous funds will be put to good use encouraging young people of all abilities and backgrounds to get active and play hockey.
“We will use this money to add to our existing programmes for young people with disabilities as well as extend our reach to minority groups in the area.
“Some new gear for our existing teams especially our U18 and U16 girls will be on the shopping list too!
“Hockey is a fantastic Olympic sport - it is very social and can be played from age four right through to the senior years and it is a sport that is growing quickly in Tipperary as it is an excellent compliment to hurling and camogie.
“We would like to thank the people at Texaco Support for Sport for running this super initiative and continuing to help Clubs in Tipperary and across the country to keep communities active and healthy,” said Olivia Burke, club secretary.
