Ferrybank GAA - Weekly Notes



INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
Our Intermediate hurlers suffered a tough defeat to Erin’s Own in their latest Championship game in Mount Sion last Friday night on a score line of 2-13 to 0-14. With the sides level entering injury time, Erin’s Own scored 1-02 to claim the points.
There wasn’t a lot to choose between the sides in the opening half, with the teams level on a couple of occasions. Good scores from John Ahern, MJ Sutton, Mark O' Brien and Eoin O’ Neill, combined with the Ferrybank defence holding firm, ensured the lads held a narrow one point lead at the break.
An early point from MJ extended the lead, but Erin’s Own scored a crucial goal to take the lead. Ferrybank battled back and regained the advantage, with Eoin O' Neill and Mark O' Brien scoring points, but crucially, Ferrybank missed a couple of scores to extend the lead, and then conceded some poor frees, which were punished by Erin’s Own to keep them in the hunt, and with the sides level, another free saw Erin’s Own go head. With time almost up, a second goal from Erin’s Own sealed the win. This was a tough defeat for the team, but they will have to dust themselves down and learn from this, preparation must now start for the quarter finals in three weeks’ time, with the opponents yet to be confirmed. 

JUNIOR HURLING:
The Junior hurlers match away to Dunhill last Thursday night was called off due to weather conditions and will be replayed at a later date.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
It’s back to the large ball this weekend for the Junior Footballers who play Roanmore this coming Friday night July 24th at 7:30pm. Let’s hope the lads can maintain their unbeaten record in this competition.

MINOR HURLING:
Our Minor hurlers suffered a second defeat in this year’s competition going down to an impressive St. Saviours side in Ballybeg last Tuesday night. The home side were in total command from the start, and tried as they could, this young Ferrybank side were second best on the night. Next up for the Minors is a home game against Erin’s Own on Wednesday June 29th at 7:30pm.

Our Under 13 hurlers are away to Sacred Heart this coming Monday night July 20th at 7pm. Your support will be welcomed.

UNDER 14 HURLING:
Our Under 14 hurling make the trip to Ballymacarbry to play Fourmilewater this coming Friday night July 24th at 7pm. Unbeaten in their opening five games, the lads will be keen to keep the winning run going. A tough test awaits, and your support will be welcomed.

PEADERS SUMMER CAMP:
The 24th running of the Kel-Tech sponsored Summer camp kicks of this week from Monday 20th to Friday 24th July starting at 10am each morning until 2pm. A huge number of kids are expected to come along and learn the skills of our national game, so why not pop along and enjoy this fun filled occasion during the week, and a number of special guests stars will be coming down to the field to show their support, and show a few skills to the kids. Many thanks to all who supported the benefit night in Flynn’s last Friday night, where a great night was had by all.
