Mount Sion Gaa Club Notes

Under 21

The Under 21s faced De La Salle in the Eastern Hurling Final last Saturday afternoon in Walsh Park. Our lads started brightly with a Martin F. O’Neill point to open the scoring. De La Salle drew level and went one ahead but Jordan Broaders continued his good run of form with a well taken point. Both sides traded scores with De La Salle hitting the net and edging them in front. Stephen Roche and Austin Gleeson both shot Sion back into the game with De La Salle again keeping their noses in front with another point. O’Neill pulled back a point for Sion but it was the opposition who went in at half one point in the lead.

From the restart it was one way traffic with De La Salle shooting further into the lead with four unanswered points. Gleeson and minor Aiden Power both tried to retrieve the game but again De La Salle pointed. An Evan Curran point followed by a successful Roche pointed free left just four points in the difference. But three late De La Salle points left the game just out of reach with Shane Forristal finding the net from a free as the game came to a close. Unlucky lads. Final score Cnoc Síon 1-12 to De La Salle 1-16.

Juvenile AGM

The Juvenile AGM took place on Friday night with a good number of coaches in attendance. It was a good meeting with some changes at the top table of the committee. For 2014, we see Michael Flanagan moving into the chairman’s position with Ciaran Sheridan taking over as PRO. The Managers and Selection committees for each team will be finalised in the coming days.

Eastern Board

Congratulations to Séamie Cleere on his appointment as Eastern Board Secretary last Thursday night. Séamie has served as Assistant Secretary of the board for the last number of years and steps up with the retirement of Tim O’Byrne. Best of luck with your new position.

Medal Presentation

All of our youngest hurlers collected their medals on Saturday morning last. There was a good turn out with parents, grandparents and siblings all up to show their support. We had the Irish Press Cup (Minor All Ireland) up for the occasion and Waterford Minor Manager, Sean Power and Minor Star, Austin Gleeson along with club favourite Eoin McGrath and School Principal Michael Walsh up to present some medals. Well done to all those who collected their prizes. The remaining Juvenile section, Under 13 to 16 will have their night on Monday 9th December at 7:30pm. Hope to see the same support up for the boys.
