JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
Hard luck to the Junior Footballers who were
defeated by a much better Roanmore side last Friday night in the final of the
John J Murphy sponsored competition in Carraiganore on a scoreline of 3-05 to
0-05.]
Roanmore opened the scoring with two points, before
Keith Power replied with a point for Ferrybank to settle the team down.
Ferrybank found it hard to create scoring chances in the opening half as
Roanmore were well organised, and the game changed in a couple of minutes with
Roanmore scoring two goals, with the second goal coming from the penalty spot
in which James Troy saved brilliantly, but couldn’t prevent the rebound going
in.
Ferrybank battled back, and just before the break
replied with points from Sam Lawless and Luke Flynn to reduce the gap to five
at the break. Into the second-half, and like the first, scores were hard to
come by, with Roanmore adding two points to extend the gap, and while another
Keith Power free gave the lads hope and a third Roanmore goal finished the game
midway through the second-half.
Despite a point from Graham Coady, Ferrybank needed
goals and unfortunately they didn’t come, and Roanmore ran out worthy winners
in the end. Thanks to Heno & Padraig for their help with the team
throughout the year.
