DÉISE DRAW:
The next Déise Draw will take place this coming Friday
August 26th at Clashmore/Kinsalebeg GAA club and we wish everyone
best of luck in the draw. Congratulations to John Buggy who was the club winner
for July.
COUNTY DUTY:
Well done to Mark O' Brien and the Waterford Under 21
hurlers on their comprehensive win over Antrim last Saturday afternoon in the
All-Ireland semi-final. The team now go on and play Galway in the decider on
September 10th in Thurles.
COME HURL WITH ME:
A new initiative called 'Come Hurl with Me' continues
Saturday at 10am for one hour in the Ferrybank GAA grounds. While the Under 6
and Under 8s are doing their coaching session, there is a programme for Mums
and Dads to learn hurling and camogie skills together with their sons and
daughters, and become more involved with their development.
It will give parents who have never played or haven’t played
in a long time a chance to learn some of the skills their child is learning, so
they can enjoy hurling/camogie with their child and practice together.
This course will be delivered by Paul Martin who has a
certified Level 1 coach badge, and a member of the Ferrybank Intermediate
hurling panel. This programme will run until the end of September. If you are
interested, please come along to the GAA grounds, where a hurley and sliothar
will be provided for each person.
UNDER 16 HURLING:
Our Under 16 hurlers suffered their first defeat last Friday
night, going down to a good Kilrossanty side on a scoreline of 3-09 to 1-12.
The lads next play table toppers Ardmore at the end of the month.
ADULT FIXTURES:
Our Junior Footballers are scheduled to play away to
Bonmahon on Saturday September 3rd in their next round-robin Championship
game, no time has yet been confirmed. Regarding the Intermediate hurlers, it
looks like the middle of September before we play Ballygunner, while the Junior
hurlers who have qualified for the knockout stages, may also have to wait a
couple of weeks before their next game.
