Ferrybank GAA - Weekly Notes

UNDER 14 HURLING:

Our Under 14 hurlers recorded a thrilling one point win over Ballygunner last Monday night winning on a scoreline of 5-07 to 4-09. The lads showed tremendous character throughout the game, and fought hard to keep their opponents at bay. Next up for the team is this coming Tuesday night August 4^th with a trip to Poleberry to play Sacred Heart.

JUNIOR HURLING:

It’s a crucial week for the Junior Hurlers as they play two very important games which will define their season. First up is Monday night August 3^rd, with a trip to play Dunhill at 7pm, followed by another trip to play Butlerstown on Saturday August 8^th at 7pm. The lads will need to win one of these games in order to book a quarter-final spot. Your support will be crucial to the team.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL:

Our Junior Footballers recorded win number six in this year’s John J Murphy sponsored competition with an emphatic 4-14 to 0-04 win over St. Pauls in Lisduggan last Friday night. The lads were in total control from the start leading 1-08 to 0-01 at the break with Damien Ahern scoring the goal from close range. In the second-half, Ferrybank introduced Colm O' Neill, and he hasn’t lost his touch as he scored three excellent goals, but his joy was short lived when he picked up a serious injury, and all at Ferrybank GAA club wish Colm a speedy recovery. This result ensures the lads have qualified for the semi-finals.

MINOR CAMOGIE:

Our Minor Camogie team play De La Salle this coming Thursday night August 6^th in Ferrybank at 7:30pm.

SPONSORSHIP:

Ferrybank GAA club would like to express its appreciation to Brian Flynn of Flynn’s Bar who kindly sponsored a new set of Jerseys for the Junior Camogie team.

Ferrybank GAA - Weekly Notes

PEADER’S SUMMER CAMP:

The 24^th running of the Kel-Tech sponsored Peader’s Summer camp took place last week. Up to 300 children took part in this popular and well run event. It was a pity that the rain spoilt the last day, but overall it was another fantastic success. A huge thanks to Inter County stars Noel Connors, Ger Alyward and Water Walsh who popped in and gave the kids some great advice and tips on the game. Once again, a huge thanks to all the people who contributed to the event in anyway, and to the Ahearne family who keep it going every year. Roll on 2016.

UNDER 10 HURLING:

Ferrybank U10 hurlers played in a blitz on Saturday 18^th July in Carriganore. Considering we had only three U10 players and the remainder were U9s, the lads did extremely well.

Ferrybank, with the wind at our backs, soared ahead in the first match against St. Patrick’s.

The second-half saw St. Patrick’s come back into it but the damage was done. The second match against Na Gael, played out in a similar vein, and Ferrybank emerged victors again.

The final match against our city rivals, Mount Sion, proved a much tougher affair; the lads, tired from the previous games, visibly slowed down and allowed the bigger and stronger opponents to take the lead.

Some fine hurling on display and well done to all the lads.

Team: Adam Aspel, Paddy Mackey, Conor Daly, Kyle Daly, Izzaak Richards, Shane Purcell, Caolán MacCathmaoil, Jay Bagge, Joe Carter.

MINOR HURLING:

Our Minor Hurlers are back in action this coming Wednesday night July 29^th with a home game against Erin’s Own at 7:30pm. A must win game for the team, in order to remain in the competition, and your support will be welcomed.

COUNTY DUTY:

Congratulations to the Heffernan sisters, Grainne and Iona, who were part of the Waterford U16 and Intermediate Camogie teams respectively who reached the semi-finals of the All Ireland Camogie. Grainne was part of the Waterford Under 16B side that defeated Dublin in Walsh Park last Saturday, while Iona was also on the Intermediate Camogie team that defeated near neighbours Kilkenny also in Walsh Park.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL:

The Junior Footballers maintained their unbeaten record in the John J Murphy sponsored competition last Friday night with a 3-07 to 0-09 win over Roanmore in Cleaboy. It wasn’t a case of the 'blanket defence' in operation in the opening half, as they were only three scores registered, with Ferrybank holding a 0-02 to 0-01 lead with points from Keith Power and MJ Sutton. Ferrybank had plenty of goal chances, but they went a begging.

Roanmore started the second-half on top, and the lads were under the cosh for the opening ten minutes, as the home side put over three points to put them ahead. Ferrybank weathered the storm and hit a purple patch with MJ Sutton and Keith Power pointing, and then goals from John Ahern and Jeff Lawless, put the lads in charge. Further points from Oisín and Greg, and Jeff Lawless scored a third goal to seal a good win. Solid display from Damien Ahern in goal who kept a clean sheet, Graham Coady, Pat O' Neill. The lads travel to play St. Pauls next Friday July 31^st at 7:30pm.

TEAM: Damien Ahern, Nicky Ryan, Aidan Sinnott, Paul Carew, Seamus Burtchaell, Pat O' Neill, Graham Coady, Luke Flynn, Oisín MacCathmhaoil (0-01), Graham Penkert, Greg Murphy(0-2), Keith Power (0-2), John Ahern (1-0), MJ Sutton (0-2), Tiernan Morrissey, Jeff Lawless(2-0), Jason Hennessey, Cian MacCathmhaoil, Thomas Lane.

DÉISE DRAW:

Best of luck to those who have purchased tickets for the July Déise draw which takes place this coming Friday night in Kilgobnet. Many thanks to all who have supported this draw, and let’s hope we can have a couple of winners on the night. Congratulations to Davy Butler who was the confined winner for June.
