Under 11 Hurling:
The under 11
hurlers playing in their third last game of the City League recorded a
very good win over St. Saviours in Ferrybank last Monday week. St. Saviours
started very strong and dominated the early play and pressed hard on the
Ferrybank goal to lead 1-03 to 0-02 points at half-time.
Ferrybank
came out a different team in the second-half and started to dominate the play
as the second half progressed and scoring 3-03, with the defence holding
Saviours to one point.
Final score
Ferrybank 3-05 St Saviours 1-04. Thanks to St Saviours for the sporting game.
Last Fridays

Instead the team travelled to Kill to play St. Marys in a challenge game and with
all players getting game time. Next game is against St. Mollerans in Carrickbeg
Friday July 12th. With Ferrybank topping the table with 15 points this is a crucial
game and your support with be greatly help the boys.

Under 10 Hurling:
Our lads
took part in the Carraiganore Blitz on Saturday morning last. The team showed
great heart and commitment in all three games. The first game was against
Sacred Heart, with the game being very even until the end when we took our goal
chances and won the game. Next up was a strong Abbeyside team, Abbeyside played
against a strong win in the first half and led by three goals at half-time.
Ferrybank
came out strong in the second-half, but some strong Abbeyside defending keep
our lads at bay with Abbeyside taking the spoils in this one.
Last game
was against Na Gael we took some nice scores in the first-half and
defended well in the second half to secure a win. Special mention for Under 8s
Fionn and Malachy who were called up at short notice both played well.

UNDER 8 HURLING:
Our Under 8 hurlers played in a hurling blitz in Gracedieu last Monday
night. The opening game was a fiercely contested game against Sacred Heart,
with the lads shooting a number of wides in the opening half. A much improved
second-half, saw us run out worthy winners.
Next up was De La Salle, and it was another tough game, with Ferrybank
playing a good combination of ground hurling. De La Salle deployed the swarm
technique on our goal, and with the lads beginning to struggle to clear the
ball, the homeside ran out 3-0 to 1-0 on the night.
TEAM: Conor Haley, Danny Donnelly, John Karankov, Luke Sutton, Finn McGarrity,
Ryan Hughes, Evan Mullaly, Malachy Carter, Rory Simpson, Jack Hoban, Jacob
Richards, and a special mention to Jacob who celebrated his 7th Birthday on the
night. Happy Birthday Jacob.
UNDER 13 HURLING: Our Under 13 hurlers played Ballygunner in the first round of the league
on Monday night. Ferrybank battled well in the opening half, and saw plenty of
the ball, but we couldn’t convert the scores, and going into the half-time
break found ourselves two points down.
Ballygunner started the second-half, and hit a couple of goals, which
left the lads with a lot to do, and the homeside side ran out worthy winners on
the night. Next up is a home game against St. Mollerans on July 11th.

INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
Our Intermediate hurlers drew with St. Mollerans in their latest game in
the Gerry Kennedy Crash Repairs sponsored competition in Walsh Park last
Saturday evening. Despite leading for long periods in the game, St. Mollerans
scored two goals in the closing minutes to secure the draw.
Playing against the breeze in the opening half, Ferrybank lead by 0-08
to 0-03 with points from MJ Sutton, Oisin MacCathmhaoil, Eoin O' Neill and Mark
O' Brien, Ferrybank should have been further ahead but missed a couple of good
goal chances that went a begging.
The second-half was a very scrappy affair, with the lads finding it hard
to get any fluent rhythm going, conceding too many frees, allowing St.
Mollerans to reduce the gap, but points from Eoin O' Neill and MJ Sutton had Ferrybank
leading by four entering the closing minutes, but a St. Mollerans goal reduce
the gap to one.
Two quick points from Philly and Sparky extended the gap to three, and
with time almost up, one last attack from St. Mollerans saw them score a goal
to give them a draw.
Overall it was a disappointing display from the team, with too many
errors costing them dearly, and they must quickly turn their attention to next Saturday
July 4th at against Ballygunner.
