It was a busy weekend for Camogie, our Under 13 girls played St Mollerans in Championship in awful conditions on Saturday morning and did well coming out with a good win..
Our Under 15 girls were beaten by a very strong Butlerstown on Sunday morning, a great game was had by the two sides regardless of score line.
Our Under 8 & 10 girls had their very last blitz of the year in the SETU arena on Sunday afternoon, over 50 of our girls participated making up 4 teams, it was a very proud day for our club with the biggest numbers there. Well done to all involved and Waterford camogie county board for the organisation.

Healthy Club

Mount Sion GAA Club has been awarded Silver in the Healthy Club projects, this is a great achievement for the club and a lot of hard work went into making it possible.
Starting the Healthy Club Project in 2018 as a club we made commitments to the health and well being of our members and wider members of the community through initiatives such as our fabulous Wellkids program, catering for children from 3+ , our mothers n others, men on the move, walking groups and charity events amongst others .
We were awarded Healthy Club status in 2021 and we are delighted to have now recieved Silver Award status. As a healthy club we look forward to bringing more fun initiatives to the club grounds including Well Kids for all which is coming soon and will cater for children with additional needs so they too can become involved in activities just like their peers. We are very proud to obtain our silver award and look forward to meeting more members of our community as we now look towards the gold.

Junior C Football

Mount Sion 0-05
ButlerstownGAA 0-05

It was honours even in the third round of the Junior ‘C’ Football Championship.

Conditions made for a low scoring encounter, so it came as no surprise that the match was littered with errors.

Josh Fanning opened the scoring for the Monastery outfit, followed up with a point by his midfield partner Ned Power. Sion began to create a lot of chances however their shooting was wayward , Gavin Carroll added another white flag to leave Mount Sion 3 to 1 ahead at the interval

In the second half playing with the breeze Butlerstown quickly drew level. Mount Sion were now on the back foot with some heroic defending by the backs and the goalie Jess keeping the scores level.

A brace of points by Minor hurling coach, Paddy McGrath, gave the home team a small bit of a cushion before Butlerstown responded with a fantastic point from out the field. Both teams coughed up a lot of possession in the dying minutes of the game, players were out on their feet and cramp was setting in when to everyone’s relief referee Eoin Morrissey(Erins Own) blew the full time whistle.

Well done to both sets of players.

We play our last group game against Gaultier in two weeks time.

Deise Draw

The final Deise draw of 2023 took place during the week and unfortunately we had now winners, thanks to everyone who supported the club this year buying tickets, the draw is a very important revenue stream for the club and proceeds are put straight back into the running of the club.
