KEARNEY’s CATERING ALL-COUNTY HURLING LEAGUE:

Our Senior hurlers concluded their All-County Hurling League campaign last Friday with a defeat to Tramore. The team were slow to start with Tramore making the early running, but they slowly clawed their way back into it, with scores from Robbie Carew, Fionn McGarrity, Harry Flanagan, and Caolán Mac Cathmhaoil. However, on the stroke of half-time, Tramore got a goal to lead by six at the break.

As the second half wore on, Tramore held a comfortable lead, and despite a goal from Caolán Mac Cathmhaoil, it wasn't enough to close the gap at full time. The team have now concluded their league, and the focus now turns to the Championship season, which commences on July 12^th.

COUNTY DUTY/CAMOGIE:

The Senior hurlers defeated St. Molleran’s in their latest game in the Kearney’s Catering All-County Hurling league last Friday on a scoreline of 3-19 to 1-15. Despite being short a number of players, plenty of game time was given to the younger players who will have benefitted from it. Early points from John Ahern and Ruaidhri McGarrity had Ferrybank on the board. The opening goal soon arrived when a long ball from John Ahern sailed all the way into the net. Ferrybank slowly got the upper hand, and further scores from Shane Oates (6), Luke Flynn, Fionn McGarrity, Sean Adeyemi, and Ruaidhri McGarrity had Ferrybank leading 1-12 to 0-06.

The second half started off very scrappy, with scores at a premium early on, as St. Mollerans benefitted with scores from placed balls to close the gap to five points. However, a fine second goal from Ruaidhri McGarrity extended the lead. Credit to St. Mollerans for battling away, and JoJo O’Driscoll on the goal pulled off three fine saves from close range that prevented St. Mollerans from raising a green flag. Points from Robbie Carew (2), Alex Kinsella, and a second goal from Ruaidhri McGarrity closed out the scoring for Ferrybank, and with the last play of the game, JoJo was finally beaten when a close-range shot got the better of him.

CAMOGIE LEAGUE FINAL:

It wasn't to be for the Ferrybank Junior Camogie team in last Saturday's League Final at a sun-drenched Kill GAA grounds as they were well defeated by a very good An Rinn side.

From the very outset, An Rinn made the running and early scores had Ferrybank under pressure throughout the game. It was a tough opening 10 minutes as An Rinn scored 1-04 without reply, before the girls got on the scoreboard with a point from Valerie O’Brien. A second An Rinn goal extended the lead, but Ferrybank replied with a goal of their own when a pass from Valerie found Aine who slotted the ball to the net. Another point from Grainne Heffernan reduced the gap, but a slicker, quicker An Rinn side finished the opening half stronger with a couple of goals and points. Despite a fine score from Eve, it was An Rinn who were in control at the break.

Early points from Roisin and Valerie saw the girls a lot more competitive in the second half, as they kept battling away, which was rewarded with a goal from Amber. It was a busy afternoon for Claire in the goal, as she made several fine stops in the goal to keep the scoreline down.

Credit to the team as they battled away, this young squad are still learning, and will improve as the season goes on. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team on the day.

TEAM: Claire, Ava H, Ava O' B, Aoife, Siobhan, Grainne (0-01), Niamh, Lydia, Eimear, Roisin (0-01), Eve (0-01), Aine (1-00), Valerie (0-05), Kayleigh, Tara F, Ciara, Amber (1-00), Clodagh W, Tara P, Clodagh Wa, Cliodhna, Megan, Brooke, Rebecca.

MINOR HURLING:

Ferrybank/St. Saviours combined side were defeated by Passage last Thursday in Ballybeg on a scoreline of 0-19 to 2-11. Despite short a few players on the night, this was a close encounter throughout. There was little to separate the side at the break with Passage holding a 0-11 to 1-06 lead, but an early goal from Sam in the second half, had the team just ahead.

Plenty of wides from Ferrybank/St. Saviours didn't help their cause, but as the game went on, Passage held their nerve and got the scores to claim the points.

Next up for the team is a trip to Kilgobnet this coming Thursday, May 22^nd at 7pm to play St. Patricks.

ALL-COUNTY HURLING LEAGUE:

The Senior hurlers travelled to An Rinn last Saturday to play the home side in the Kearney Catering All-County Hurling League. Following a good game of hurling, the spoils were shared on a scoreline of 2-21 each.

It was the home team that made most of the running in the initial few minutes scoring four of the opening five points, with Mark O’Brien scoring Ferrybank’s opener from a placed ball. Ferrybank levelled up the game moments later, when Ruaidhri McGarrity picked up the ball from the side line, and worked his way into the area, before placing the sliothar into the net from a tight angle. Both sides traded points, with Mark O’Brien scoring some fine points from acute angles, and he was unlucky not to score a second goal, when fine build up play by the team saw his close-range shot saved by the goalie and the expense of a '65 which was converted. An Rinn finished the half better scoring four points to edge into a 0-14 to 1-07 lead.

Ferrybank improved a lot in the second half, with four quick points split between Mark O’Brien and Neil O’Sullivan. An Rinn were then awarded a penalty which was dispatched, but the lads replied with Ruaidhri McGarrity, Caolan Mac Cathmhaoil, and Neil O’ Sullivan to put them back into the lead. A second An Rinn goal looked like the winner, but almost immediately, Neil O’Sullivan picked up a loose ball, and drilled a low shot to the net to level it up. A good second half from the team, who were short a few players on the night.

Next up is St. Molleran’s on Tuesday, May 20^th at 7:30pm.

CAMOGIE:

The Ferrybank Adult Camogie side qualified for the League Final with a good win over a gallant Gaillltír B last Sunday afternoon winning on a scoreline of 3-11 to 1-03. The team got off to a good start with points from Roisin Oates and Valerie O’Brien, but Gaillltír replied with a goal to level it up. Despite this set back, Ferrybank continued to create chances, and further scores from Roisin and Valerie ensured a 0-07 to 1-01 lead.

Ferrybank started well in the second half, and had a few goal scoring chances only to find the Gaillltír goalie in top form. However, the Gaillltír net was finally breached when a long ball in, was caught by Aine, who duly dispatched the ball to the net. A second goal soon arrived, with again Aine in the right place, scoring from close range. Points from Grainne Heffernan, and Lydia kept the scoreboard ticking over. In the closing moments, a shot from Meagan sailed into the net for a fine goal. Credit to Gaillltír who kept battling away to the end. A good win for the team, who worked well throughout the game, playing a nice style of camogie, and getting rewarded with some nice scores. With a lot of young players in the squad, the team is beginning to progress in a nice direction. They now go on to play An Rinn in the final, with the date, venue, and time yet to be confirmed. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team.

Meanwhile, theUnder 8 team hosted Gaillltír and Roanmore last Saturday, where an enjoyable morning was had by all.
