UNDER 8 HURLING:
Our Under 8 hurlers returned to competitive action on
Saturday morning playing three games, and coming out on top in two of them.
Daniel Lynch started in goal, and was helped by the solid defence of Rory, Evan
and Daniel Lynch; while Jacob, Jack and Harry dominated the midfield. Morgan,
Ben, and Fionn rattled the goaline up front. Well done lads, another proud day
for Ferrybank.
CLOTHING COLLECTION:
It’s that time of the year again, where I’m sure your house
could do with a spring clean. So if you have any unwanted clothes, paired shoes,
belts, handbags, curtains, towels, soft toys etc., or any old mobile phones or laptops
(please keep mobile phones and laptops separate from clothing items), you can
drop them down to the GAA grounds on Saturday mornings from 10am to 2pm. The
closing date will be Saturday April 2nd.
JUVENILE NURSEY:
The Ferrybank GAA club and Camogie club will commence the
nursery for boys and girls aged between 5-6 years old on Saturday March 5th
at 10am. The club nursery programme teaches children the basic movements and
skills required to play Gaelic games. These include agility, balance,
co-ordination, running, jumping, throwing, catching, kicking, and striking.
The club nursery targets 5-6 yers old, and it’s a great way
to introduce new children and parents to the club. All equipment helmets &
hurleys will be supplied. For further information please contact Nicky
Heffernan 087-6724212 or Zoe Delahunty 085-1342180.
CAMOGIE AGM:
The Ferrybank Camogie club will holds its AGM this coming
Wednesday February 24th at 8pm in the Parish Hall. Please pass the
word around, as we will need more people involved for the coming year, and keep
it moving forward. It would be great to have some Parents from the Juvenile
club as part of the committee. Parents’ input is highly needed in order to
develop the club. We look forward to seeing you there.

UNDER 16 HURLING:
Our thanks to Brian Dillon's club in Mayfield, Cork who
hosted our Under 16 team last Saturday. It was our first run out of the season,
and while we were a little ring rusty, it proved a worthwhile exercise for the
lads for the year ahead. Onwards then to Pairc Uí Rinn for the Waterford v Cork
game, with the result making the homeward journey a lot easier. Our thanks to
Dave Butler, formerly of Mayfield, for arranging the game with Brian Dillon's.
MEMBERSHIP:
It’s that time of the year again, with the annual membership
will be due, and we would ask all players to pay their membership ASAP. For the
year its €70 for adults, and if you want a Déise Draw ticket it will be €120.
Students/Unwaged €30.
