Sargent Cup 2009

The Senior hurlers took part in their first competitive game of the season against Lismore in Lemybrien last Saturday afternoon, in the Semi-Final of the 2009 Sargent Cup (as it wasn’t finished last year). Playing against the breeze in the first half Lismore led at half time. After the break both teams continued to exchange points before Lismore broke through for a well taken goal from Dave Bennett. To our credit the men of blue and white fought back to take the lead with minutes to spare. There was some great young talent on display, none more so than some of the minors from last year. Final score Mount Sion 0-17 Lismore 2-10. The final will take place on 31st March.

St. Patricks Parade

It was great to see so many of our young players walk in the parade last Wednesday. It was also a memorable occasion as the newly amalgamated Ardkeen/Mount Sion camogie club girls walked alongside the boys. A great morning was enjoyed by all. Just a special thanks to all the mentors that organised everything and helped out on the day.

Deise Draw – (First Draw)

The first Deise Draw takes place this Friday the 26th. Tickets are on sale from any member of the Fund Raising Committee, or by contacting Josie Evans. Tickets are €10 per month or €90 for the year. This is an important source of income for the club and we urge all members to support this by buying some and selling some.
