Mount Sion Gaa Club Notes
Junior Hurling Championship
Mount Sion School Mini 7’s Team
The recent run of good form for the school teams continued when the under 12 seven a side team qualified for the Eastern Finals. To qualify they had to overcome a gallant Scoil Lorcáin side and a very strong Ballygunner team in McGinn Park last Tuesday.
The performance of Timi Sobowale in goal proved that he has more strings to his bow than an outfield player. Bill Wall and Oisín Daly in defence were towers of strength throughout. Young Scott Hoban in midfield was solid throughout and his partner, Charlie Costello was player of the day with his never ending work rate and intelligent play. Up front, young Eoghan Power was a constant threat and scored the goal of the day with a superb finish after great play from Daly and Costello. Jordan Roche however showed just what he can do when on form when he was constantly there to convert the build up play with some cracking goals. The youngest player on the panel, PJ Fanning proved a super sub on each occasion he was introduced, scoring a vital 1-01 at vital stages.
Well done to all the panel and their club coaches who are improving these lads all the time. They now play the Eastern Finals on Tuesday next today (27th March) in De la Salle Gracdieu. This very young team will be up against it against St Declans, Newtown, Ferrybank and Portlaw in the finals but no doubt they will give it their all once again.
Brother Rice Annual 1SU Shield
Captain James Ogundare played a captain’s role throughout and formed part of a defence where young PJ Murphy excelled in goal and the ever improving Alex Madigan and Sacred Heart’s twin towers of Seán Troy and Sam Robinson were outstanding. Ten year old Timi Sobowale played beyond his years in midfield in supporting player of the tournament Evan McGrath throughout. The forwards of Ben le Blanc, Jordan Halpin, Samuel Mathe and newcomer Kris Mauresan were a handful for every defence.
Well done to the boys. Their discipline and effort throughout the day was a credit to themselves and the school. Thanks to Waterford Coaching and Games and Brother Kevin of Edmund Rice Centre for organising a great festival of hurling.
