Ferrybank GAA - Weekly Notes

INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
Our Intermediate hurlers are scheduled to play Dunhill in their opening game of this year’s championship in Walsh Park on Sunday 8th May at 3:45pm. However, with the County side in replay action against Clare on the same day, more than likely it will be switched to an alternative date.

JUNIOR HURLING:
Our Junior Hurlers also swing into action on Friday 6th May with a home game against St. Mollerans at 7pm. Let’s hope the lads can get off to a winning start. Best of luck to Doyler’s and his team.

We had one winner in last Fridays night Déise draw which took place in Gaultier, congratulations to Catherine Howard who won €100 in the draw ensuring that we have winners in the opening two draws.

UNDER 12 HURLING:
The Ferrybank Under 12 hurling team took part in their third City League match of 2016 against our close Kilkenny neighbours Slieverue.
Ferrybank tore ahead and secured an early lead with 3 goals in quick succession and this relentless onslaught continued unabated throughout the first-half giving the Village a great lead.
The second half-continue in the same vein with tremendous pressure being applied to the Slieverue defences. The Kilkenny team managed to claw back 3 points but the game was over.
