Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Junior Football

The Junior Footballers were in action again on Friday night last against Ballyduff in the club and despite a committed effort by the players on the night with some nice skills on display the final touch seemed to be lacking, even though they scored three goals the superior point-taking from Ballyduff proved the difference between the sides as they ran out on a winning scoreline of 3-10 to 3-02, well done to the lads who have played to their best strengths and tried to play an entertaining brand of football throughout their games.

All Ireland Under 21

It’s big day this Saturday for the Waterford Under 21′ s as they go in search of the County’s second All Ireland title at this grade in Thurles against Galway, best wishes to Austin, Sean and Philly and everyone involved with the team .

Minor Hurling

This is a crucial week for our Minors with two must win games if they are to progress to the semi finals, first up is away to Portlaw/Ballyduff on Wednesday followed by a home tie against Abbeyside on Sunday morning, best wishes to the lads and all support appreciated.
