GAA NOTES

UNDER 6,7, 8, HURLING: Our Underage hurlers travelled to Passage East to play the home side in some friendly matches yesterday. Although a day of rest, Ferrybanks Under 8 side opened proceedings, and were charged up for the match, and launched unrelentess attacks on the Passage goal. Passage succumbed to the pressure, and this proved another galant day for the team. Thue Under 7 match was a much closer affair, but the lads battled hard to seize control of the game. Missing half of the Under 6 team, Ferrybank faced an uphill battle against Passage. This was the first game for many of the players, and it was a titanic struggle, against a superior side. However the kids had a ball and enjoyed the day out. Thanks to Passage who were excellent hosts, and to the teams for a great days enterainment, and to all the parents for the support.
