Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Juvenile Hurling

It’s been a busy week in the Juvenile club with the Under 11’s playing two games in the City League, on Monday they made the short trip to Gracedieu where they took on De La Salle, in a hard fought game the boys came out victors on a scoreline of 2-5 to 1-1, on Friday night Roanmore were the visitors but they were no match for Sion who ran out easy winners on a scoreline of 4-6 to 1-0.

This was a very busy week for these young players as they also played school hurling and the commitment from themselves, their families and their coaches is to be commended, the Under 9 blitzes continue  and on Saturday they played Ballygunner and Ferrybank with great displays in both games, this week the Under 12’s take centre stage when they take on De La Salle and Roanmore in the City League, see the fixtures tab for details.

Primary School Hurling

The Primary school Mini 7’s just came up short in the Eastern Final in Walsh Park on Wednesday last. A very young team narrowly losing their decisive game to Ballygunner 1-02 to 0-3, along the way they had superb victories over Glór na Mara, Clonea and Portlaw. Panel – Hugh Flanagan, Jake Marks, Dylan Ryan, Dylan Brown, Jack Barrett, Jefferson Edugon, Evan Mackey, Darragh McGrath, Emmanuel Adebayo, Lee Flanagan, Davin Marshall and Jared O’Keeffe. Well done to all!

 Wednesday next sees the grand finals of the school’s hugely successful Wednesday League for second and third class boys. The boys will play for the inaugural Pat Fanning Shield and Cup. At 6pm Connacht will play Ulster in the Grand Shield Final immediately followed by the Pat Fanning Cup Final where Munster will do battle with Leinster. Although school is off the finals go ahead on Wednesday and it would be great if as many as possible could be there to support the fledgling hurlers!

National Hurling League

They have to do it all again! After Sunday’s nail biting drawn game in Thurles the Waterford Senior Hurlers take on Clare again on Sunday next at the same venue with throw in at 3.30pm, best of luck once more to all involved, unfortunately this means that the first round game of the County Championship against Cappoquin will now have to be re-schedued to a later date.

Golf Classic

The Mount Sion Golf Classic takes place this year on Friday 3rd June in Waterford Golf Course, format will be a 3-person Scramble with min 3 drives per person to count ,€100 per team including food, put this date in your diary with more details to come over the coming weeks.

Waterford Dragon Warriors

Waterford Dragon Warriors (survivors of breast cancer) present an evening of fun and frolics in the Mount Sion Centre on Friday May 6th from 9pm till late, with music from Paddy’s Pride and spot prizes galore your support would be much appreciated.

 

Deise Draw

The second Deise Draw of 2016 took place in Gaultier on Friday last and unfortunately we had no winners, this is one of the main fundraisers for the club and we would encourage as many members and their families as possible to participate, as well as helping your club you are also in a great draw with many good prizes on offer. For information please contact our Club Co-ordinator Josie Evans (087) 068 6700.
