INTERMEDIATE
HURLING:
Our
Intermediate hurlers recorded a good win in their Gerry Kennedy Crash Repairs sponsored
clash last Sunday in Walsh Park over a spirited Mount Sion side. After a slow
start, Ferrybank got to grips with the game, and points from Sam
Lawless, Mark O' Brien and Graham Coady settled the team down. However, some
poor frees conceded left Mount Sion back into the game, but towards the end of
the half further points from Shane O’ Sullivan, Andrew Heffernan and Robbie
Carew ensured a 0-11 to 0-09 lead at the break. An early goal from Oisín
MacCathmaoil in the second-half extended the lead, but Mount Sion refused to
go away and scored a goal of their own from a 20 metre free.
Ferrybank
held their nerve a further points from Shane, Mark and Oisín closed the game
out on a scoreline of 1-18 to 1-12.
A good win
for the team, but too many frees conceded will be a concern, and they must turn
their attention to the next game against Erin’s Own on Friday June 10th.
