Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Dick Roche Under 9 Memorial Tournament

Last Saturday in glorious sunshine we held our inaugural Dick Roche Under 9 tournament in the club,  with seven  clubs from around the south east and ourselves competing a great day of Hurling was had by all the young lads,  first up for Mount Sion was a match against  Danesfort from Kilkenny where we ran out comfortable winners, next we  faced Faythe Harriers from Wexford in an extremely tough game claiming a two point win . In the third match we faced an unbeaten  Portlaw side where we showed great fighting spirit to win by eight points, we ended up topping a difficult group with three wins from three to qualify for the Dick Roche tournament final to face a serious outfit in Oulart the Ballagh of Wexford .
In a close game with a very tight first half our young team just tired in the second half and were beaten. Well done to Oulart the Ballagh and all the other clubs who travelled down to us on the day. The management team would like to congratulate the boys on the fantastic effort they put in, special thanks to our sponsors Walsh’s take away on the Lower Yellow Road and thanks to the refs on the day along with the ladies committee for all their help with food etc .  The panel for the day was

Davin Marshall,  Lee Flanagan,  Conor Walsh, Cormac Dunphy, Jack Cowman, Jack Barrett, Adam Regan, Jake Marks, James Lambert, Fionn Walsh, Alex Walsh, Killian Dundon, Jared O Keeffe and Dillon Ryan.

Under 14 Feile

Our Under 14s played in the new regional Feile tournament on Saturday last in Carriganore, first game was against Galway side Clarinbridge who proved too strong for us on the day, next up was Limerick’s Patrickswell where in a thrilling game we were the winners by a point with Jack Meaney getting our crucial goal, next match was Cork outfit Sarsfields and in another close run affair we came out the winners by the single point again in what was a great battling performance from the lads , well done to all the lads and their mentors who represented their club and county with pride in this tournament.

Sargent Cup

Mount Sion 4-19

Fourmilewater 1-15

The long trip to Ballymacarbry last Saturday evening for the fourth round of the Sargent Cup ended with another victory and two more  points on the league table. It took three minutes before Fourmilewater opened the scoring with a point,  the Monastery men took the lead from here on with Richard Roche raising Sion’s first green flag. Martin F. O’Neill was in flying form and deadly accurate on his long range free taking duties. Sion were well on top at the break and led by 1-12 to 0-06.
Sion continued their dominance after the break with Damien Hurley getting on the end of a rebound to finish to the net. Ian Galgey returned to action after a long break due to injury and rattled the net just after nine minutes of the second half. Sion conceded a 21 yard free just after. The free taker gave the lads no chance with an excellent rocket shot to slightly reduce the margin. A short spell of dominance on the scoreboard for the home side continued but Sion got back to the job at hand with Tony Browne pointing and Martin F. O’Neill finishing out the game with an excellent break through run! Final score, Cnoc Síon 4-19 to Fourmilewater 1-15. Well done lads, good effort.
