MINOR FOOTBALL: Our Minor Footballers began the 2012 Football championship with a one point win over Stradbally in Ferrybank this morning on a scoreline of 2-8 to 1-10. Stradbally played with the breeze in the first half and opened up with four points. Ferrybank had a couple of scoring chances with they didnt take. However after 18 minutes Ferrybank scores a goal through Mark O' Brien, when a "45" from Keith power wasnt cleared and Mark dispatched the ball into the net. However Stradbally with the breeze put over three unanswered points to increase their lead, and just before half time, they scored a goal to stretch the lead to 1-6 to 1-0 at half time. Following a "pep talk" from the selectors, Ferrybank came out all guns blazing, and points from Keith Power(2), Liam Og Carey, MJ Sutton(2), John Ahern, Robbie Carew put them a point up. However two quick points from Stradbally put them a point ahead. But Ferrybank refused to give up and a Keith Power goal put them back into the lead, and Keith got another point put them 3pts up entering the final few minutes. Some solid defending from the lads kept the hosts at bay and two more points from Stradbally reduced the gap to the miminum with a minute to go. One last Stradbally attack was superbly defended by the team as they refused to conceed a free, and as the ball was cleared the whistle went. This was a good team performance with everyone contributing to the team win. Next game in the Minor Football is Sunday 18th march at 11:30am away to St Marys(Kill).

GAA NOTES
UNDER 21 FOOTBALL: Our under 21 Footballers were defeated by Kilmacthomas in the under 21 football Eastern semi final on a scoreline of 3-12 to 2-11 after extra time in Carrickbeg. The team gave it their all on the night, but the second period of extra time proved crucial as Kilmac scored 2-3 to -1, and booked their place in the final. Despite missing a few players for the game, Ferrybank fought to the end, and can count themselves very unlucky not to have got a replay.Luke Flynn opened the scoring on the night after five minutes, but Kilmacthomas came right back into the game scoring five points without reply. Things didnt look good for Ferrybank at this stage, but in the final 10 minutes of the first half, Ferrybank came right back into it with a goal from Mark O' Brien. This spured the team on and Kevin Hurley put over 2 good points from play, and a second Luke Flynn point put Ferrybank two points clear with half time approaching, DJ Magee saw his goalbound shot saved which could have increased the lead. With the last kick of the half, Kilmac reduced the gap to a point, to leave the half time score 1-4 to -6pts. Four minutes into the second half, Kilmac were awarded a penelty, which they duely converted to open a two point lead. But Ferrybank quickly levelled with points from Mark Russell and Kevin Hurley. Mark was unlucky as he could easily have got a goal. Three quick points from Kilmac inside 4 minutes stretched the lead to three points with 10 minutes to go, but credit to Ferrybank as they refused to throw in the towel, and led superbly by Kevin Hurley who slotted over three points to level up the game at 1-9 each. The whistle blew for full time, and extra time was played. In that first period, Kilmac shot a few wides in the first five minutes, but Ferrybank went into the lead when Kevin Hurley converted a penelty to the net, and another point from Kevin put Ferrybank 2-10 to 1-9 at the end of the first period of extra time. Sadly the second period is where Kilmac got the vital scores, with a goal in the first minute, and a point straight after. The momentum was now with Kilmac as the lads began to tire and a third goal for them left them a goal clear. Another great score from Kevin reduced the gap to two points, with time running out Kilmac got a further two further points to run out four point winners. Ferrybank can count themselves very unlucky not to have got a replay out of this game, as they gave it their all night, with Kevin Hurley outstanding in contributing 1-8 to the team on the night. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team on the night. We wish Kilmac well for the final. TEAM: Aidan Sinnott, Greg Kinsella, Damien Ahern, Stephen Quinn, Sean Rellis, Seamus Burchill, Tommy Carew, Stephen Treacy, Sam Lawless, Luke Flynn(-2), Kevin Hurley(1-8), Greg Murphy, Mark O' Brien(1-0),Mark Russell(-1), DJ Magee, Dean Phelan, Thomas Lane, Oisin MacCathmhaoil. Thanks to Shiner, Marty, Darragh in helping to prepare the team and to Pat for stepping in tonight.

TEAM: Izaak Richards, Jessie byrne, Alex Burke-Derham, Sean Fagan, Shane Purcell, Joe Carter, Malachy Carter, Conor Daly, Kyle Daly,Caolan MacCathmhaoil, Michael McLawrence. The lads provided a feast of top class hurling today. The marking was second to none, and all settled into their positions well. The first game against De La Salle was a tough gig, but our lads got a well deserved draw. The second game also against DLS proved a far easier challenge and Ferrybank dominated the proceedings. St Saviours was the third game, and proved to be fierce opponents, with many tough tackles, but Ferrybank retaliated by sinking the ball into the back of the net.The last game was against Passage, with Alex in top form on goal, supported by the defence of Jessie, Sean, Shane, not many a sliothar got past them. Midfield consisting of Izaak, Joe, Kyle, Michael dominated the centre, and the forwards of Caolan, Malachy, Conor were like spitfores in the Passage goalmouth. The sideline support was excellent, so a big thanks to all the Parents, Grandparents, Relatives as you really spurned the team on.
