Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Minor Hurling

The first round of the Minor Hurling championship saw Sion make the short journey to Gracedieu to take on De La Salle on Tuesday night last and though our lads kept the home side to within three points early in the second half they proved too strong and ran out winners on a scoreline of 3-14 to 1-10, next game is another away trip to Ballygunner on the 18th July.

 

Dick Roche Tournament

The annual Under 9 Dick Roche tournament took place in the club on Saturday last and once more a feast of hurling was served up from all sides involved, we welcomed Lismore, St.Mary’s Clonmel, Carrick Swans, Geraldine O’Hallorans, Dungarvan & Glenmore to the club, some great games of hurling were played culminating in a thriller of a final between Sion and St. Mary’s which when the sides couldn’t be seperated at the ned of normal time went into extra time with Sion running out one point winners, well done to all involved and to the Roche family for organising the whole event.

 

Under 14’s

Our Under 14’s were invited to the prestigious Bride Rovers tournament in Cork on Saturday last playing two games losing out to St. Mary’s Clonmel by a point and beating Lismore by two points, some great work being done with group and the results and performances are starting to reflect this.

Under 12’s

The Under 12A City League continued during the week , final score Mount Sion 3-6 Ballygunner 1-6
absolutely unbelievable performance by the lads continuing on their good run of late.

Camogie

Another good result for our Under 12 girls as they beat Dungarvan last week, next game is a challenge against Butlerstown on Monday night at 6pm.

Cul Camps

This year’s Kellogg’s Cúl Camp is running from July 16-20. Be sure to book your place at kelloggsculcamps.gaa.ie or through the club via Peter Walsh .

Bon Voyage

Safe journey to Stephen “Scratchy” Wilmott who is off to Vancouver this week, Scratchy is a great clubman and we wish him all the best for the future.
