Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Intermediate Football

It was another disappointing night for the Intermediate Footballers as they lost out to Newtown on Friday night in the third round of the championship, Sion started out well with scores from Ian Power and football specialist Lee Douglas on free taking duties which left them going into the break down by a single point, the second half saw Newtown gain the advantage and soon the game got away from Sion to leave the scoreline 0-005 to 2-11 in the opposition’s favour, the last game in the group against Bunmahon will be arranged at a later date.

Under 12’s

Hard luck to the under 12s who lost out to Ballygunner in their first City League game of the year despite a good first half showing, next up is De La Salle, panel for the game was Hugh Flanagan, Niall Geraghty, Adam O Connor, Jamie Meaney, Cian Purcell, Darragh McGrath, Craig Crowley, Dylan Butler, Ben Regan, Paul Wall, Scott Ryan, Lee Flanagan, Adam Walsh,  Jack Sweeney, Evan Mackey and Evan Sinnott.

Under 10’s

All the hard work and training put in by the Under 10’s over recent weeks paid dividends on Wednesday night with a good win over Tramore in the club , panel on the night was Davin Marshall, Lee Flanagan, Conor Walsh,  Jack Cowman, Jake Marks, Jack Barrett, Adam Regan, Alex Walsh, Cormac Dunphy, Ross Byrne, Cameron O’Neill, Jared O Keeffe and Dylan Ryan.
