EXAMINATION
TIME:
It’s
hard to believe it’s that time of the year again, with the Junior and Leaving
cert exams getting underway on Wednesday. On behalf of Ferrybank GAA club, we
would like to wish all everyone the very best of luck.
UNDER 11
HURLING:
The
stakes were high on Friday night for the Ferrybank Under 11 hurlers in their
fifth match of the City League against Ballygunner and yet again our lads did
not disappoint.
Playing
at home and spurned on by the great support, Ferrybank took an early lead. The
game was very close and at half-time we led by 2 points.
Ballygunner
came out all guns blazing in the second-half and rattled our defences but the
solid defence and excellent goalkeeping from young Caolan kept them at bay.
Ferrybank
emerged the victors in a very close game. Well done to both teams.

Not too

person team event, with entry fee of €25 per person (no meal included), €20 for
members of the Waterford Golf club and Student/Unwaged €10 (must tee off before
11am).
Prize
giving afterwards is taking place in the Mandarin Palace. The timesheet is
currently now open, and you can contact Andy Ryan 086-3938893 for a time, but
be quick as the timesheet is filling up nicely, so book now to avoid
disappointment.

committee.
MINOR
HURLING:
The
Minor hurlers will get their championship campaign underway on Monday June 29th
at 7:30pm home to St. Marys.
KITS FOR
KIDS:
The
SuperValu kit for kids programme is currently underway and Ferrybank GAA club
has been one of the clubs nominated to take part. A shopper who spends €40 in
any SuperValu store will be giving a token to place in a nominated club box.
The promotion will run until July and hopefully the club can secure an O'
Neills Juvenile kit consisting of Footballs, Sliothars, Bibs etc.
So pop
along to any of the SuperValu stores and do your shopping, and hopefully we can
secure the kit for kids. You can check on how the club is progressing by

UNDER 13
FOOTBALL:
No joy
for the Under 13 footballers in the semi-final last Wednesday night as they
were defeated by a much stronger Gaultier side. The lads tried their best but
on the night, they had no answer to the visiting side, who we wish the best of
luck in the final.
