Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Senior Hurling Championship

Cnoc Sion 0-22

Abbeyside 3-15

The second round of the Senior championship saw Sion face off against Abbeyside on Saturday evening last in Walsh Park, Abbeyside got off to the better start finding the net within the second minute to give them the early advantage, Sion did well to get back into the game and were within a couple of points before Abbeyside once more raised the green flag to help give them a commanding lead at the break, half time score Cnoc Sion 0-10 Abbeyside 2-10, Sion had their best period of play early in the second half when they scored five points without reply to get within a point but a break in play killed of the momentum and Abbeyside were able to get bck into the game, Abbeyside managed to score another goal which ultimately proved to be the difference between the sides as Sion just couldn’t reduce the deficit and the game ended up in a two point victory for Abbeyside, final score Cnoc Sion 0-22 Abbeyside 3-15, next game is scheduled for weekend of July 27th/28th.

In what was a great week for young Lee Flanagan after helping the Under 14’s to a county final during the week he was second overall in the feile Skills in Abbotstown on Saturday, this is a fantastic achievement for one of our promising young players and a proud day for his family and club.
