Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Minor Hurlers

Our Fairway Coaches sponsored Minors continued their good Championship start with another victory against Passage in the club on Wednesday night last, Passage ran the lads close all through the game and never gave up bringing the game to two points before the final whistle, Ballyduff Upper are the visitors to the club this coming Wednesday as Ned and his team hope to continue their good run.
