Minor Football

Our Minors were back in action on Tuesday last and once again came out on top scoring 4-04 to the hosts 2-04, the coaches are doing great work with these lads and they deserve our support, the next game is against St. Saviours away on Tuesday 17th April at 7pm.

Condolences

It was with deep sadness that we learned during the week of the passing of Joan Kelly, to Joan’s husband Dando, sons Daniel, Eoin and Pat and her extended family and friends we express our deepest sympathy  at this sad time, ar dheis De go raibh a hanam.

Engagement

Great excitement in Nicky’s bar recently when long time Sion and Waterford keeper Ian “Iggy” O’Regan got down on his knees in the crowded pub to propose to long term girlfriend Louise Ryan, what a gesture from the stylish Iggy and everyone in the club wishes the happy couple all the best for the future!
