Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Senior Hurling

 It might be early in the year but the County board are busy organising this year’s Senior Hurling Championship with the group draws being made last week, Sion were drawn in Group 2 and like last year our first two games are against Fourmilewater and Roanmore which are scheduled to take place in early May, the rest of the group consists of Passage, Lismore and Portlaw, keep an eye on social media and the website for when more details of the games become available.

Congratulations

The stork was busy in Mount Sion this week with two new arrivals in the space of a few days, congratulations to Natalie and Paul Hammond on the birth of their new daughter and also to Amy O’Sullivan and Owen “Savo” Sauvage whose son Tadgh made his long awaited arrival at the weekend, Tadgh is the first grandchild on both sides of the family and there’s great excitement all round, congratulations to all our new parents and grandparents !

Under 6’s and 7’s

The Under 6 and 7 training started up in the school on Saturday last and numbers are going very well, with such a good turnout we could use a few more coaches to help out, if anyone is interested please contact Eoin Fanning or Peter Walsh.

Condolences

The club wishes to extend deepest sympathy to Derek Regan on the death of his father Paddy during the week, ar Dheis de go raibh a anam.

New Darts League

The darts league will start up again in the club in February, following the huge success of the Gary Anderson tournament there is a big interest in darts in the club and hopefully this will be shown in the number of people taking part, the format will be weekly games running over the course of a few months with a finals night later in the year. There will be cash prizes involved and also money going towards the juvenile club, if anyone is interested or wants further information please contact Kenny Stafford.

Development Scheme

Just a reminder that the Development Scheme is still up and running and is an ideal way to pay Membership/Deise Draw as well as the Development Scheme, payment is by Standing Order and there are a number of different options available,  please contact Peter by phone or Text at 087 1355359 and he will send on all the details.
