Mount Sion Gaa Club Notes

The Gathering

A great night was had in the club on Friday night with the presentation of medals to our Sargent Cup and Junior Football winning teams of 2013 , Chairman Peter Walsh thanked everyone for coming and said it was important that the club acknowledges success among our teams.

 Football manager John Walsh thanked everyone for their commitment during the year and looked forward to playing Intermediate Football this year, it was a close run affair for the Footballer of the Year award and it could have gone to any number of players but in the end it went to captain fantastic Robert Bresnan for the huge part he played in our successful campaign , here’s looking forward to next year’s event and plenty more medals to give out !
