UNDER 12 HURLING:

Ferrybank travelled to Tramore tonight to play in the U12 hurling City League. What a match this turned out to be.

Tramore were leading by 2 points at half-time, but Ferrybank soon discovered the art of hooking and thwarted Tramore's efforts. Despite the list of injures our lads suffered during this hotly contested game they battled to the end securing the victory.

Final score, Tramore 0-08 to Ferrybank 2-03. A narrow margin, but well deserved given the heroic effort put in. Well done again lads.

UNDER 11 HURLING:

Ferrybank played Kilmacthomas in the latest game in the City League, and started off well with scores from Conor Haley, Matti, Adam Aspel, and Michael McLaurence. The midfield consisting of Shane Purcell, Izaak and Jay continued to rattle the Kilmac defence and added to the mushrooming score line. Kilmac came more into it in the second-half but with the defence of Shane Egan, Joe Carter, Jacob, Fionn, Kyle, Conor and Paddy kept them at bay. It was a great start to the Under 11 league.
