UNDER 11 HURLING:
Friday night was another successful
night for the Ferrybank Under 11 hurlers in their second game of the city
league against De La Salle in Gracedieu. From the throw-in, Ferrybank dominated
and scored four quick goals, and as many points. DLS started to come back into
the match, but the wealth of our defence of Caolan, Odhran, Izaak, Daniel W,
Sean Heff, and Sean Fagan held them at bay. The two Shanes controlled the
midfield, while the half forwards Ruaidhri, & Jake riddled the home side’s
defence. DLS emerged stronger in the second-half, and clawed back 1-01, but
Daniel Griff, & Alex Byrne enjoyed great goal scoring, while Joe & Mati
continued to hammer the DLS goal. Well done Ferrybank.
TEAM: Joe Carter, Sean Heffernan, Izaak Richards, Shane Egan, Shane Purcell,
Mati Tomczuk, Daniel Griffin, Sean Fagan, Daniel Walsh, Jake Butler, Caolan
MacCathmhaoil, Alex Byrne, Odhran Power, Ruaidhri McGarrity..
UNDER 8 HURLING:
Our Under 8 hurlers played in a hurling
blitz in Carriganore last Saturday. We were short a few number on the day, so a
number of the Under 7s turned out for us. All of the games were played with
great determination, and some excellent hurling skills were on hand for all to
see. Thanks to Ballyduff for loaning us two players for the first half of the
game, and the second half it was five against seven, with the lads digging
deep, covering every blade of grass and in the end were victorious. The lads
defeated St. Pats, Roanmore, Ballyduff, St. Mollerans, while they drew with
Clonea.
TEAM: Daniel Donnelly, Malachy Carter, Conor
Haley, Fionn McGarrity, Luke Sutton, Jack Hoban, John Karankov Ider, Ryan Hughes, Rory Simpson, Ava
