Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

St. Patrick’s Day

As is the usual tradition with our Juvenile club our young players will once again represent the club in the annual parade in Waterford on St Patrick’s day next Saturday, keep an eye out for the lads and give them a big cheer as they pass by ! Later on in the club it promises to be another great day with all the sport on the big screens and music from 5pm, looking forward to seeing you all up there !

Senior League

The Seniors play the first game of the Senior League on Monday 19th March at 12pm in the club, all support welcome.

Clean-up

Following the recent storms last week there was still a lot of snow lying around on the ball alley and all weather pitch and thanks to a hardy bunch of volunteers who helped clear it up last week the grounds were soon ready for use again. Thanks to everyone who helped out.
