Mount Sion GAA Notes

Happy Christmas

A very Happy Christmas to all our members and friends from Mount Sion GAA Club, it has been a difficult year for everyone with more uncertainty on the way and we look forward to seeing you all again in 2022!

 

Junior Football

The Junior Footballers were in action on Saturday last as they made the trip to Borrisoleigh to take on Tipperary champions Ballina with a place in the Munster final at stake, a third minute save from Richie Roche and an Evan Curran goal were the highlights for Sion as they came up against a dogged defence , half time score Cnoc Sion 1-02 Ballina 0-09, the second half was more of the same with an Ian O’Regan goal keeping Sion’s slim hopes alive but ultimately Ballina proved too strong and finished out the game winning 0-16 to 2-05, well done to all involved for bringing us on the journey with the big ball this year.

12 Draws of Christmas

We are now well over halfway through our 12 Draws of Christmas and the winners up to Sunday December 19th are as follows, Daichi Drohan, Mikey Daykin, John Meaney, Martin O’Neill, Aaron Power, Heidi Culleton, Pat McGrath Sir and Pat Carroll, thanks to everyone again for supporting and to our Chairman Seamie who has been diligently doing the draws all week.
