Feels like home as Nenagh chase glory in Thurles

Munster pennant holders Nenagh are just one step from a second AIG Pierce Purcell Shield in three years as they bid to become the province’s eight successive All-Ireland champion in the competition, playing so close to home, at Thurles today.

On a day of disappointment for Munster’s Barton Shield winners Kinsale, Nenagh brought some cheer for the host province as the AIG National Cups and Shields finals got underway in their home county of Tipperary.
