Mount Sion GAA Club News
Condolences
We extend our sympathy to Belinda Thornton and her family on the death of her father Tony McBride who passed away last week. Tony played minor hurling for the club from 1948-1951 and was successful on no more than 3 times. He later moved to Erins Own where he played against Sion in the 1960 Senior County Final where Mount Sion came out on top. Tony’s two grandchildren Lee & Ross play underage hurling for the club.

Juvenile AGM
Last Thursday night saw our Juvenile AGM take place. Secretary Tina Gleeson gave a good account of the years events and thanked everyone for their help especially the ground staff of Davy Carroll, Peter Roche and Dick Fleming. She also played tribute to the Ladies Committee who were always available to supply food for any events or games. Chairman Peter Walsh thanked the mentors for their efforts over the past year and spoke of the long year ahead.
The election of officers were as follows: Chairman Peter Walsh; Vice-Chairman David Thornton; Secretary Tina Gleeson; PRO Owen Sauvage; Equipment Officer Niall Walsh; Child Welfare Officer Eoin Fanning; Drugs Awareness Officer Jason O’Farrell and Coaching Officer John Quinn. I would like to wish all our teams and mentors the best of luck for the coming season.
