Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Under 15 Feile

Our Under 15’s are Feile Champions for 2022 and go on to represent the County in the Feile in Dublin next month, following two hard won games on Monday night in Gracedieu the boys played bally gunner in the A final in front of a large group of supporters in Carrickpherish on Tuesday night, a highly competitive game with just a puck of the ball between both teams saw the Monastery men just edge past their rivals at the final whistle which saw jubilant scenes from the bench and stands as the place erupted with the victory, well done to the team their families and coaches for all the hard work to get to this point and best of luck in UCD next month.

Senior League

The Senior players have reached the League Final for 2022 with a game to spare, another assured performance on Friday night against Dungarvan in Dungarvan cemented their place in this year’s decider, the remaining game is down for decision against Ballygunner in the club for next Sunday morning.
