With just under a week ago for the seventh annual Gerry Ryan Memorial Golf classic which takes place this coming Friday June 12^th at the Waterford Golf club, there are still a few places on the timesheet left, and you can contact Andy Ryan for a tee off time 086-3938893. Its a three person team event, with entry fee of €25 per person (no meal included), €20 for members of the Waterford Golf Club, and €10 for Students/Unwaged (must tee off before 11am).

Prizes will be given out in the Maradian Palce afterwards. If you would like to sponsor a tee box for €20, you may do so by contacting any of the committee. So book your tee time, form a team, and enjoy the day.

INTERMEDIATE HURLING:

Our Intermediate hurlers will play St. Saviours next Saturday June 13^th in the Whites Bar of Ballymacaw sponsored Hurling League in Ferrybank at 7pm.

KITS FOR KIDS:

The Supervalu kits for kids programme is currently still in progress, and Ferrybank Gaa club has been one of the clubs nominated to take part. A shopper who spends €40 in any Supervalu store will be given a token to place in a nominated club box. The promotion will run until July, and hopefully the club can secure an O' Neills Juvenile kit consisting of Footballs Sliothars, Bibs etc. So anyone doing some shopping, pop along to any of the Supervalu stores and do your shopping, and hopefully we can secure the kits for kids. You can check on how the club is doing by logging onto www.facebook.com/caulfieldssupervalu?fref=ts or www.supervalu.iereal-people/sponsorship/gaa/gaa-kit-for-kids.
