stiff test for the team and your support will be appreciated on the night. Best
of luck lads.

spirited Sacred heart side in the Eastern semi-final last Saturday afternoon on

against Portlaw in Walsh Park at 6:15pm. Please come along and support the
Girls on the night.
UNDER 12 FOOTBALL:
Our U12 footballers made the scenic journey to the Comeragh
Mountains to play their second game of the league on Tuesday last, 30th August,
against Rathgormack. The home team played with the advantage of the hill and
the wind and dominated the first-half, leading 2-03 to 0-03 at half-time.
On the resumption, Ferrybank began to take control and, as
the second-half progressed, started to eat into the Rathgormack lead. However,
a rare break from Rathgormack into the Ferrybank half of the field yielded a
goal. Our lads pressed again to reduce the lead to one point, but couldn’t get
another score as Rathgormack defend well with the help of the cross bar on a
number of occasions.
Final Score: Rathgormack 3-04 Ferrybank 2-06.

UNDER 16 HURLING:
Hard luck to our U16 hurlers who narrowly went down to table
toppers Ardmore last Monday night on a scoreline of 2-14 to 2-12. Despite this
defeat, the team have qualified for the knockout stages.
COUNTY DUTY:
Best of luck to Mark O' Brien and the Waterford Under 21
hurling team that do battle with Galway in the All-Ireland U21 hurling final in
Semple Stadium next Saturday at 5pm. No doubt a large contingent from the
Village will travel up and support the team. Best of luck lads. Déise abú!
JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
Our Junior Footballers were defeated by a good Roanmore side
in their latest John J Murphy sponsored Eastern championship game last Friday
night in Ferrybank on a scoreline of 2-14 to 1-08. Roanmore started the game brighter
scoring two early points, before Jason Hennesey replied with a good point.
However, Roanmore looked threatening when they attacked and
picked of a number of points and goalie Oran MacCathmhaoil was forced into a
good save when the Roanmore forward looked certain to score. Points from Martin
Freeman and Oisin MacCathmhaoil, closed the gap, and Darryl Griffin was very
unlucky to see his goal bound shot pushed over the bar by the Roanmore goalie
following a good flowing move.
At the break Roanmore lead by 0-08 to 0-04. The visitors
started the second-half stronger, gaining
the upper hand and scoring 1-03 without reply to put clear daylight
between the sides, and despite Martin Freeman goaling from close range, the
homeside were unable to bridge the gap,
as a second Roanmore goal in the closing stages clinched the win. Despite this
defeat, Ferrybank are guaranteed a place in the knockout stages.
TEAM: Oran MacCathmhaoil, Nicky Ryan, Pat O' Neill, Aidan Synnott,
Tiernan Morrissey, Damien Ahern, Seamus Burtchaell, Luke Flynn, Oisín
MacCathmhaoil (0-03), Darryl Griffin (0-01), Jason Hennessey(0-01), Cormac O'
