UNDER 12
FOOTBALL:
We
played two games during the past week playing Kilmacthomas and Tramore. First
up was a trip to Kilmac, and the lads had to dig deep, coming away with a hard
earned two point win. Next up was a home game against Tramore, and despite a
good effort, the lads fell short by four points.
UNDER 11
HURLING:
The
Under 11 hurlers took part in the Gala open day in Carraiganore last Saturday,
prior to the blitz, Ferrybank winners of Division 3, were presented with the shield
by inter-county star Austin Gleeson. All the players were thrilled to meet
Austin, and Austin was very generous with his time to our players. Well done to
all the lads and the medals will be presented at the Annual Night at the Dogs
on Saturday November 21st.
UNDER 10
HURLING:
The
Under 10 hurlers played in a blitz in Ferrybank on Sunday morning against Na Gael,
Ballyduff, and Na Fianna (Meath). Considering we had only two Under 10s, with
the rest made up from the Under 8 & 9s, the lads did well.
It Ferrybank
to a while to get warmed up and succumbed to the might of Na Gael in the
opening game. Despite this defeat, Ferrybank turned on the magic in the next
game against Ballyduff, and in a close match, the lads held out for a two point
win. The final game against Meath side Na Fianna was played in similar fashion,
and another close finish saw the lads prevail by the minimum.
A
fantastic feast of hurling was on display with sixty kids playing their part,
and the well of support was amazing. A big thanks to all the teams who
travelled to take part, but particular thanks to Na Fianna for making the trip south,
we were all impressed by their skill, sportsmanship and support.
Thanks
also to those who provided refreshments, and to Nicola, Gemma, Ita and Marguerite
who served the refreshments.

Everyone
