Mount Sion Gaa Club Notes

Under 7 Football

Our Under 7s took part in their first football blitz of the new season in Ballygunner last Saturday morning. We played three games and picked up two wins from our outing. In the first game we played Sacred Heart, Gaultir in the second and Ferrybank in the last. The team enjoyed their first taste of competition and with no better way by winning by 2 goals to nil in both the first and last games and narrowly lost out to Gaultir. The panel for the games were: Dillon Ryan, Jared O’Keeffe, Tommy Walsh, Ross Byrne, Alex Walsh, Evan Flanagan, Sean Flynn, Adam Regan, Sam O’Byrne-Russell, Mark O’Connor. Well done to all those who took part. These are the next generation of Sion footballers in the making.
