UNDER 11
HURLING:
Ferrybank
played St. Marys last Tuesday night in round four of the City League. Continuing
on their recent spate of good form, Ferrybank quickly took the lead, but St. Marys
put up a fine fight in the opening half.
In the second-half,
Ferrybank assumed command of the game and ran out good winners, maintaining
their unbeaten record in the City League.
Well
done to both teams, and thanks to St. Marys for travelling over.

UNDER 12
HURLING:
The Under
12s made the trip to play Tramore last Thursday night. Ferrybank started off
well, with Eddie Daly and Shane Purcell finding the net early on, which settled
the team down. As the game ebbed and flowed, Tramore gave as good as they got,
but they couldn’t find the break through, and let Ferrybank off the hook on a
number of occasions.
Into the
second-half, Ferrybank upped the tempo and pulled away in the end. The score
line didn’t reflect what happened on the field of play, and could have been
different if Tramore had a bit of luck on the night. Next game is home to
Sacred Heart.

JUNIOR
HURLING:
Our
Junior hurlers were well beaten by a more slicker De La Salle side in their
third game in the Gerry Kennedy Crash Repairs sponsored competition in
Ferrybank last Friday night.
Right
from the start, DLS were in complete control, dominating all areas and scored
two quick goals in succession leaving Ferrybank a mountain to climb. Despite
points from Ciaran Doyle and Damien Walsh, Ferrybank struggled and further DLS
points before half-time ensured they had a 2-09 to 0-05 lead at the break.
Any
chance of a comeback in the second-half was quickly diminished, as DLS scored
two more goals and despite scores from Greg Murphy, Marty Freeman, Ciaran Doyle
and a goal from Damien Walsh, it was all in vain as DLS ran out 4-12 to 1-10
winners.
Next up
for the Juniors is a trip to Butlerstown next Friday night at 7pm where an
improved performance will be needed.
TEAM:
John Brown, Paul Carew, Paul Martin, Cian MacCathmhaoil, Hughie O' Neill,

UNDER 13
FOOTBALL:
We
played Clan Na Gael in our latest game of the City League on Monday night in
Ferrybank, in what was a must win game if we had any hope of qualifying for the
knockout stages. We found it hard to cope in the opening exchanges, facing a
very stiff breeze, where Clan Na Gael took full advantage and raced into the
lead, but Ferrybank hung in there and pegged back the lead to two points at half-time.
Ferrybank
started the second-half well and played some excellent football, and hit the
net twice in a couple of minutes to take the lead. Clan Na Gael threw
everything at Ferrybank, but the defence held firm and ran out three point
winners.
INTERMEDIATE
HURLING LEAGUE:
The
Intermediate hurlers travelled to Clonea last Saturday night in game two of the
White’s of Ballymacaw sponsored league. Despite been a number of players short,
Ferrybank had to battle hard in the opening half, as Clonea enjoyed the
majority of possession, but Ferrybank’s defence held firm and only trailed by
three points coming up to half-time. However, Clonea struck for a goal to lead
by six at the break.
In the
second-half, Clonea continued to be on top, and were stronger in most areas and
hard as Ferrybank tried, Clonea kept the scoreboard ticking over, running out
worthy winners on the night on a score line of 1-18 to 0-10.
TEAM:
Conor Hogan, Nicky Ryan, Damien Ahern, David Atkins, Graham Coady, Andrew
