Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Under 16 Football

It was a disappointing day for the Under 16’s as they just narrowly lost out to Ferrybank in the Div 4 football final in Walsh Park on Sunday last, having been unbeaten on the way to the final hopes were high for this team and despite being down to 11 men early in the second half and looking likely to be overwhelmed by Ferrybank’s strong runnng brand of football a screamer of a goal from Ben Frisby brought Sion to within a point, ufortunately this was to be Sion’s last score of the game but they made Ferrybank fight hard for their two point win showing some of the committment and drive that helped get them to the final in the first place, final score Cnoc Sion 1-04 Ferrybank 1-06, well done to all involved as they now concentrate on the upcoming Hurling Championship.

Camogie

Our Under 8’s played a strong De La Salle team in a packed out astroturf in the club on Wednesday last beating our local rivals to the delight of everyone, superb performances all round making their families and coaches proud, check out the gallery section on the website for photos,  team on the night was Abbie O’Reilly,  Bella Keogh, Carrie Anne Pay, Sophie Flynn, Hannah Cadogan, Grace Dundon, Alana Kelly Robinson, Leah Mullins, Mia Cleere, Aine Flynn , Lily May Browne, Tess Roberts , Sophie Tubbritt
