Senior League
Our league campaign got off to a winning start, with a great win over Abbyside last Saturday evening. Abbyside were first off the mark with a point from play, however from the resulting puck out Paul Browne’s long ball was miss controlled by the Abbyside keeper and ended up in the back of the net. Both teams traded points before Abbyside got their only goal of the game. Our second goal came from Jason Phelan while Dan Kelly grabbed the third after a shot from Ross O’Keeffe was saved by the Abbyside keeper and Dan finished with a simple tap in. After the break Mount Sion increased their lead with some well taken frees from Martin F O’Neill and point from Sean Ryan. With minutes remaining Abbyside put on the pressure and attacked the Sion goal, however great displays from Michael Gaffney at full back and Chris Ryan at centre back pulled us through. Final score Cnoc Sion 3-18 to Abbyside 1-18.
Under 21
The Under 21 took on Ballygunner in the Eastern Final on Friday evening last in Walsh Park. Ballygunner opened the scoring with several points before Martin O’ Neill opened the scoring for Mount Sion. Ballygunner finished the half 8 points up. After the break Ballygunner continued their dominance and added another goal to their total. Sion were over dependent on frees from Martin O’Neill, with no real threat up-front. Final score Cnoc Sion 0-15 to Ballygunner 2-18.
Under 10s & 12s
Both our Under 10 and Under 12 teams travelled to O’Loughlin Gaels in Kilkenny on Sunday morning last. The Under 10 team played very well and came out a few points winners. The Under 12 team also gave a good performance. Our thanks to the mentors who travelled and to O’Loughlin Gaels for both games.
