JUNIOR FOOTBALL: Our Junior Footballers made it two wins from two with a hard fought win over Portlaw last Friday night on a scoreline of 1-06 to 0-6. Portlaw had the better of the opening half, but James Troy in the goal pulled of a couple of good saves to keep Ferrybank in the game. A point from Davy Atkins and a goal from John Ahern midway through the opening half, had Ferrybank going into the half time break level 1-01 to 0-04. In the second half, Ferrybank began to get on top and a Keith Power point edged them into the lead, with the defence tightened up, further points from MJ Sutton, Robbie Carew, Kevin Hurley ensured a good win for the team. Next up for the Juniors is a trip to Kill next Friday April 10th at 6;45pm.

MINOR FOOTBALL: Our Minor Footballers had to conceed their latest championship game last Sunday against Clan NaGaeil ( Dunhill/Butlerstown/Fenor). With a small pool of players to pick from, and with players unavailable, it was going to be hard to have a team for the day, against a very strong side. Next game is scheduled for Friday April 17th away to Portlaw at 7pm.
UNDER 14 FOOTBALL: Our Under 14 Footballers were narrowly defeated by a very good Rathgormack side in a thriller of a game on a scoreline of 4-05 to 3-05. The lads gave it everything, and were unlucky not to get something out of the game.
