PEADAR’S SUMMER CAMP:
The 25th annual Keltech sponsored Peadar’s Summer
Camp takes play from today to Friday July 22nd from 10am to 2pm. Let’s
hope the weather stays kind for all the children, and as the week goes on, there
will be a few special guests coming over to lend their assistance. So why not
come down to the GAA grounds and enjoy the future stars on show.
INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
Our Intermediate hurlers recorded a hard fought win over St.
Molleran’s in their opening game in the Whites Bar sponsored Eastern Hurling League
last Tuesday night. Early points from Cormac O' Driscoll, MJ Sutto and Oisín
MacCathmhaoil gave Ferrybank a good start, but St. Molleran’s replied with a
goal. From there on, there wasn’t much between the sides and further points
from Robbie Carew and John Ahern ensured Ferrybank held a two point lead at the
break.
The second-half was much as the same as the first-half, with
points been traded, and with the sides level, John Ahern scored a fine
individual goal to open up a lead. Furthermore, points from Graham Coady,
Seamus Burtchaell and Tiernan Morrissey closed out a good win on a score-line
of 1-17 to 1-13. Next up in the league is Monday night July 18th (tonight)
home to Erin’s Own at 7:30pm.

UNDER 12 CITY LEAGUE
HURLING REPORT:
The Under 12s played their last match of the City League on
Friday last in Ferrybank against Passage. The game was very close in the first-half
with Passage playing some fine hurling early in the opening period, but slowly
Ferrybank got into the game and led by a point at half-time.
Our lads continued to improve and had two early goals in the
second-half and ran out winners 4-06 to 1-08. This wins follows on from two excellent
wins over Ballyduff 4-05 to 3-07 and Clonea 0-04 to 0-03. This team moved up
from Division 3 last year to Division 2 this year, found the going tough
earlier in the first couple of games, but soon found their feet and finished
well.
Panel over the three games: Adam Aspel, Shane Egan, Daniel
Griffin, Caolan Maccathmhaoil, Ruaidhri McGarrity, Shane Purcell, Jay Bagge, Jake
Butler, Joe Carter, Sean Fagan, Sean Heffernan, Odhran Power, Paddy Mackey, Jamie
