Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Foodbank Collection

The second collection on Saturday for the Foodbank was another massive success, thanks to everyone who donated over the two weeks and especially to Slimming World Waterford who arrived up with huge amount of food on Saturday, this was part of our Healthy Club project in conjunction with Gaultier and great credit must go to our Healthy Club Officer Michael Power for all the hard work he has put in to keep this project going throughout such a difficult year.

All Ireland Final

The big day is next Sunday and the club is looking well with the flags flying proudly! Very best wishes to all involved and to our own Austin Gleeson as they try to bring the Liam McCarthy back to Waterford for the perfect Christmas present for Waterford people all around the world.

Last Man Standing

 Last man Standing goes on for another week with nothing separating our two remaining players Cian O’Grady and Dave “Fly” Power both having wins this weekend with Liverpool and Leicester, lets see how next week goes and will we have a winner before Christmas?

Christmas Day Swim

In what has now become an annual tradition the Billy Galgey Christmas Day swim takes place on the 25th at 11-15am at Tramore Slip, this year’s charity is the Waterford and South Kilkenny branch of Down Syndrome Ireland, a great cause close to many people’s hearts in Waterford, please sponsor any of the lads doing it and sponsorship cards are available from Paul or Ian Galgey.

Dick Roche Tournament

Our Under 9’s and 10’s finished off their year on Saturday by taking part in the Dick Roche Tournament, while we were unable this year to have visiting teams the organisers came up a novel way to run it off by competing in a series of non contact games skills and challenges ! Special thanks to the Roche family as always for making the tournament happen in memory a great Mount Sion man, well done to Alex who captained the winning team and lifting the Dickie Roche cup and Alfie who captained the runners up bringing home the shield.

 

Camogie

Training for the older girls continues Mondays 6-7 in the Astroturf. Please bring all own water bottles and don’t forget to complete the health questionnaire before coming up. The U15 group will train on Tuesday 6-7pm
Kate will be collecting any outstanding money for the club sets (€10) before training starts on Monday also.

Deise Draw

 The first December draw was held on Wednesday in the club and unfortunately we had no winners, tickets are still available for the last draw of 2020, please contact Kenny Stafford or any member of the executive.

Development

We would ask as many members as possible to join the Development Donation scheme, at this current time our only revenue is the scheme and membership. Anyone wishing to pay membership or join the Donation Scheme please contact any committee member.
