UNDER 5,6,7 HURLING: Ferrybank hosted a series of games in the Under 5,6,7, age groups against worthy opponents Mt Sion. The Ferrybank under '5 played out of their skins today, and soared ahead early on. The under 6 & 7 games were hotly contested battles, but Ferrybank did us proud. Another great day for the club, which the children and parents can be proud of. Well done lads, and thanks to Mt Sion for the manner in which they played there games, and to the kids for a great days entertainment. The kids had a ball and will be talking about this day in school, so to all parents, please encourage your kids ( from four years onwards) to participate, regardless of their lack of hurling experience, as the emphasis is placed on fun. It provides kids with the opportunity to meet new friends, and enjoy themselves in a controlled and safe manner. So why not let your child have a go at Gaelic Games. Hurleys and helmets provided at the training sessions. We would welcome any assistance from parents, who would like to get involved. This is a great way to encourage your children to excercise. No experience required. For further information on Under 5/6 hurling, please contact Mark Drennan 086-3752656. Under 7/8 Conor McGarrity, Brian Richards 086-3589859.
