Round 3 of the Under 16 Championship took place on Sunday last when we faced Brickey Rangers. A dominant opening half with the breeze from the Western club saw them lead at the break by 8 points. Brickys shot two further points in the opening five minutes of the second half. A Sion revival was on cards from this young side, who have a never say die attitude. Mikey Daykin pointed a sixty-five and a free. Michael Flynn finished to the net with a quick flick at the edge of the area. Brickey’s responded with a point but Mikey Daykin goaled in the 24th minute. Another point from the men in black and amber put four points between the sides. A goal from Mathew Butler made for some interesting final minutes of the game. But alas, we couldn’t manufacture an opportunity and recorded our first loss of the Championship. Final score Cnoc Síon 3-5 to Brickey Rangers 1-12. Next up is St. Patricks down the west on Monday 1st April at 7pm. Best of luck lads.
