INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
Our Intermediate hurlers are back in championship action this coming Saturday
August 6th when they play Clonea in Kill at 2:30pm. A
crucial test awaits the team and a win here would put them into the knockout
stages. Your support will be appreciated on the day.
JUNIOR HURLING:
Our Junior Hurlers put their unbeaten record on the line this coming
Friday night August 5th when they play league leaders Kilmacthomas
in Ferrybank at 7:30pm. Again, your support will be welcomed on the night.
JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
Our Junior Footballers made the trip to play Mount Sion last Friday
night in their latest John J Murphy sponsored competition game and came away
with the two points, winning on a score-line of 4-13 to 2-07.
Oisín MacCathmhaoil opening the scoring with a fine goal in the opening
minutes and Tiernan Morrissey pointed straight away, but Mount Sion replied
with 1-01 of their own. Points from Oisín and Sam Lawless put Ferrybank three
points ahead, but Mount Sion levelled it up with a goal that dipped under the
goalkeeper. However, coming up to half-time, Oisín and Sam pointed to leave
Ferrybank ahead by the minimum.
The opening exchanges of the second-half were close, with Mount Sion
pressing hard, but with the defence holding out, a Ferrybank counter attack saw
Greg Murphy shot end up in the top corner. Moments later Greg got his second
with another well placed effort, and with Alex Power contributing three fine
points, Ferrybank opened up a clear lead. Minutes from the end, Greg capped a
fine display by getting his hat-trick after converting a penalty, Feryrbank’s fourth
in total. A good all round display from the team, and this win puts the team in
a strong position to reach the knockout stages.
COUNTY DUTY:
Congratulations to Mark O' Brien and the Waterford Under 21 hurlers on
their superb win over Tipperary last Wednesday night in the Munster Under 21
final at Walsh Park. Mark gave another excellent display in the middle of the
park, working exceptionally hard throughout the game. They now go on and play
Antrim in the semi-final in a couple of weeks’ time.
DÉISE DRAW:
We had one winner in last Friday nights Déise draw which took place in
Ballymacarby, where Rosemary Heffernan won €200. Congratulations to Rosemary,
