Mount Sion GAA Club Notes

Under 14 Feile

Our Under 14’s participated in the Feile on Saturday last, they made the journey to Ballyduff Upper where they qualified for the Plate final playing games against Dr La Salle, Naomh Carthage and the host club, travelling back later in the day they faced Roanmore in Carriganore where a closely contested game saw them overcome the local rivals helped by goals from Tommy Kennedy and Evan Flanagan, well done to all involved and to the coaches and parents for putting their time and effort into this great bunch of lads.

Minor Hurling

The Minor Championship is up and running with two fixtures in a row against Naomh Carthage on Sunday where the lads dug deep from being four points down in the closing minutes to earn a draw following De La Salle defeat on Friday, best of luck to Ned and his team as they go into the next games.

Condolences

Deepest sympathies to Aidan Ryan on the sad passing of his mother Mary last week, our thoughts are with Aidan and family at this difficult time, ar Dheis de go raibh a h-anam.
