MINOR CAMOGIE:

The Minor Camogie travelled to Dunhill last Tuesday night to play St. Anne's in their latest game, and following a good first-half, the girls only found themselves three points down at the break.

However, some soft goals at the start of the second-half left them with a mountain to climb, but credit to them as they kept battling to the end, defeated on a scoreline of 7-06 to 3-05. Next up for the Minors is a trip to Dungarvan on August 25^th at 7pm.

This win ensured a place in the knockout stages for the girls. Next up for the Juniors is a game on September 5^th against Clonea.

Ferrybank GAA - Weekly Notes

JUNIOR HURLING:

Our Junior Hurlers exited the Gerry Kennedy Crash Repairs sponsored competition last Saturday night with a defeat to Butlerstown.  Earlier in the week, the lads were well defeated by a strong Dunhill side last Monday night, and going into the final game, a win would have secured a knockout spot.

The lads started well in the game, and despite conceding an early goal, points from Greg Murphy, Ciaran Doyle and Tony Heffernan had Ferrybank leading by a point. But the game changed just before half-time, when the team were reduced to fourteen players, and Butlerstown scored 2-01 in quick succession to have them leading by 6 points at the break.

Another Butlerstown goal early in the second-half left Ferrybank with a mountain to climb, however goals from Ciaran Doyle and Alex Power gave them hope, and despite conceding another goal Ferrybank rallied with goals from Damien Walsh, with Alex and Ciaran grabbing a second each but in the end the team fell short on a scoreline of 5-12 to 5-08.

Thanks to Byrner and Pairaic Buddy for helping with the team during the year.

TEAM: Martin Freeman, Paul Carew, Aidan Sinnott Cian MacCathmhaoil, Dean Phelan, Alex Kinsella, Damien Walsh(1-0), James Murphy, Tiernan Morrisey, Jeff Lawless, Tony Heffernan(0-2), Kieran Doyle(2-5), Jack Wicks, Greg Murphy(0-1), Alex Power(2-0), Eddie Burns, Oran MacCathmhaoil.

JUNIOR CAMOGIE:

Our Junior Camogie side were narrowly defeated by hot favourites De La Salle in the Premium Butcher Championship last Thursday night in Ferrybank on a scoreline of 2-09 to 2-06.

De La Salle started the better in the opening half and led by 1-08 to 1-02 with Claire Smith-Baldwin scoring Ferrybank’s opening goal. In the second-half, Ferrybank came right back into it, and a Orla O' Neill goal reduced the gap, and tried as they did, the DLS defence held firm in the end to hold out for the win. The girls can take great heart from this display, and they now look forward to their next game which is away to Portlaw next Thursday night at 7pm.

MINOR CAMOGIE:

Our Minor Camoige side are in action away to St. Anne's this coming Tuesday night August 11^th at 7pm.

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.
