The first annual Paddy “Moremiles” Murphy Under 16 tournament takes in the club on Saturday June 24th, we welcome Danesfort, Mullinahone and Cushinstown with the first game throwing in at 10.30, schedule is as follows-
10.30 Mount Sion v Danesfort

11.30 Mullinahone v Danesfort
12.00 Danesfort v Cushinstown
12.30 Cushinstown v Mount Sion

This should be a spectacular feast of hurling and a fitting tribute to a great clubman who is still sadly missed following his passing last year.

Munster Championship

Commisserations to the Waterford Senior hurlers on their defeat to a resurgent Cork in the Munster Semi Final on Sunday last, the qualifiers beckon now for Derek Mcgrath’s men and we wish them the best as they try to regain the form of 2016 and progress to the All Ireland series.

Under 14’s

Our U-14’s travelled to Limerick on Saturday last for the regional feile finals consisting of a three game tournament against Sarsfields of Galway and Burgess from Tipp, in the first game the Galway men proved too strong but in a very tight second game against Burgess from Tipperary our lads came out the winners by a point, well done to all involved.

This year’s Cul Camps take place in the club from July 24th to 28th, applications can be taken online on the Kelloggs website or else contact Peter Walsh who has forms available.
