Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Tony Browne

The big news in the GAA world this week has been Tony Browne’s retirement from Inter County Hurling after over twenty years of sterling service to Waterford’s senior team , it is a testament to the esteem in which Tony is held from the amount of tributes that poured in from all corners of the country from sporting and non sporting fields .Tony’s attitude and professionalism have always been exemplary while playing for both club and county and this is reflected in the respect and admiration he has received . At Mount Sion we’re delighted that Tony will continue to line out at club level and true to the character of the man in the black helmet next week is business as usual as he prepares for the first round of the Club Championship on Saturday.

Speedy Recovery

Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Mount Sion and Waterford legend Ken McGrath who underwent major surgery last week , Ken and his family are in everyone’s thoughts at this time and we all look forward to seeing him out and about soon .

Under 12 City League

Our Under 12s played Roanmore in the club on Friday last and were the winners by a point in a hard fought victory .Two goals from Ben Frisby helped seal the victory while Sean Doocey and Stephen Finn also impressed on the night .
