Mount Sion Gaa Club Notes

Intermediate Hurling Championship

Best of luck to our Intermediate Hurlers on Sunday when they take on Ballyduff Lower in the Eastern Quarter Final next Sunday at 7pm in Walsh Park. Come along and cheer on the lads!

Junior Hurling Championship

The Junior Hurlers played their last game of the championship last Thursday evening against Roanmore. Our lads put in a solid performance with a good win over our near rivals. We now look forward to the Eastern Semi-Final, with other games left to be played in our group we should know who we play during the week.

Under 15 Championship

Our lads qualified for the Eastern Semi-Final, which was played last Saturday afternoon in Dunhill against Ballyduff Lower. We had a good few on holidays and some of our younger players were given their opportunity. They didn’t disappoint and the lads were just unlucky to lose out by the narrowest of margins at the end of the game. Final score Mount Sion 4-3 to Ballyduff Lower 1-13. Best of luck to them in the final.

Deise Draw

Last Thursday night there was a big presentation to all our Deise Draw winners from July including Chris Fitzek who scooped the €10,000 prize. Next month’s Draw will take place on 31st August. Tickets can be bought from any of the promoters or from behind the bar. Please have your money in before the draw. A list of all promoters names can be seen on the notice board in the club. Tickets are €10 per draw. This year you will have the chance to win a top prize of a car in the March draw and in the May, August and November Draw’s there will be a special draw for a €1,000 holiday voucher and €500 spending money.

Under 14 Championship

The Under 14s played at home to Lismore last Monday night. Our young side put in a good battling performance on the night to the championship favourites. Hard luck lads. Final score Mount Sion 3-3 to Lismore 3-14.

With the Premier-League just about to start up, we again will be running our Last Man Standing Competition from next weekend. There is a roll over from the last one run.
