GAA NOTES

INTERMEDIATE HURLING: Our Intermediate Hurlers travelled to Cork last Saturday to play Douglas in a challenge game and following a good game of hurling we were defeated by a mixture of their Intermediate and Seniors teams Despite having an understrength side, the lads worked hard throughout the game, and no doubt this experience will stand to them for future matches. We play Butlerstown on Thursday night away at 7:30pm in a challenge game.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL: Our Junior Foootballers played St Pauls last Saturday in round five of this year's championship and following a hard fought game, we came out on top on a scoreline of 3-6 to 1-8. Having led a half time by 1-5 to -4, thanks to a Eric Corcorcan goal, we came under pressure in the second half as St Pauls began to dominate, but two late goals from Kevin Roche got us out of jail, to give us a vital win. With four wins and a draw from five games, we have almost guaranteed qualification to the semi-finals. Our next game is against Fenor on Saturday 3rd July in Ferrybank at 7:30pm.

MINOR HURLING: Our Minor Hurlers match against Abbeyside away scheduled for tomorrow night Wednesday has been POSTPONED:

INTERMEDIATE HURLING FIXTURE: Our next match in this year's championship is against Mt Sion will now take place on TUESDAY JULY 13TH AT 7:30PM, IN WALSH PARK. Please keep this date in your diary and come out and support the lads.

junior footabll

The footballers were out last against Roanmore, in Roanmores pitch and won.
In what can only be labeled an experimental team, a mixture of the old and the new, we played some good football, against a stubborn Roanmore side.
The score of 2-13 to 0-5 points is a little flattering in so far as the teams were not that far apart from each other, skill wise.
So we march on to the next game which we believe will be held within the next 2 weeks and hope for another victory.
Well done to the team which is captained by non other than James Murphy.

GAA NOTES

INTERMEDIATE HURLING: Our Intermediate Hurlers travelled to Kill last Friday night to play Dunhill in ther third game in this years Eastern championship and after putting up an excellent performance over the 60 minutes ,were very unfortunate to be defeated by 6 points on a scoreline of 5-10 to 2-13. They say goals win matches and thats was the difference in the end. Despite missing a number of players, this didnt deter Ferrybank from putting in a much improved effort from there last game. Early scores from Cormac O' Driscoll got the Villagers of to a good start before Dunhill quickly replied with a goal from a "21" which could have been handled better. Points from Damien Walsh and Eoin O' Neill restored our advantage, before 3 unanswered points from Dunhill gave them a two point lead mid way through the first half. A second Dunhill goal followed from a deflected shot, put them four clear but points from Damien Heff, Cormac O' Driscoll, and Eoin O' Neill put us all square, and Shane Flynn was very unlucky when his shot cannoned of the crossbar, that would have given us a three point lead at half time, but instead it was all square at 2-5 to -11pts. Facing the breeze in the second half Damien Walsh restored the lead with a well taken score but Dunhill replied with a third goal and tagged on two points to go five points clear. Then Damien Heff lined up a "21" yard free, and facing six on the goal line rifled the ball to the net to reduce the gap to two points, but diaster struck immeadiately, when straight from the puck out Ferrybank failed to clear the ball, and ended up in the back of the net to give Dunhill breathing space. Refusing to throw in the towel, sub Greg Murphy picked up a loose ball in the Dunhill area and struck a great shot to the net to reduced the gap to a goal with minutes remaining, try as they might Ferrybank couldnt get that goal to draw level, and with the last puck of the game Dunhill scored a fifth goal which sealed our faith. Credit to the team for never giving up in the game and to be fair deserved something from this game. We are still in a good position to qualify for the knockouts, its in our own hands now with games against Mt Sion and Portlaw remaining, though it wont be easy, the lads are well capable of doing it, based on this performance. Many thanks to those who travelled and supported the team. TEAM: Sean Flynn, Pat O' Neill, Chris Hoban, Conor Hogan, Tommy Carew, Damien Walsh, Paul Martin, Shane Sullivan, Phil Blake, Eoin O' Neill, John Byrne, Damien Heffernan, Shane Flynn, Mark Drennan, Cormac O' Driscoll. SUBS Greg Murphy for Mark Drennan. SCORES Damien Heffernan 1-2, Cormac O' Driscoll, -6, Eoin O' Neill -3, Greg Murphy 1-0, Damien Walsh -2.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL: Our Junior Footballers will play game four in this years championship on Friday June 18th at 7:30pm away to Roanmore in CLEABOY. Victory will almost gaurantee us a play in the semi finals. This will be a tough test for the lads. Please come along and support the team.

under 14 hurling.

Today, in the field we played the last qualifier in the under 14 hurling, an we won. This was a hard fought battle as Stradbally were a very disciplined and skillful team. In the first half it was neck and neck, as both teames traded scores.
The second half started well for us as we got a fortunate goal to set us on our way to victory.
We wish Mick Sutton, Foxy Carew, and Paul Sutton all the best in their semi final. which we think is on next week.
Score Ferrybank 2. 10 Stradbally 9 points.
