CLUB NURSERY:
The club nursery programme continues every Saturday morning
from 10am-11am in the GAA grounds, and it is aimed at boys and girls, aged
between 5 and 6 years of age. The club nursery encourages the parents to bring
along their children, and learn the skills of our national game. It is also a
great way for parents and children to make new friends, and also to get
involved with the club. All helmets and hurleys are supplied.
DÉISE DRAW:
Best of luck to all who have purchased Déise Draw tickets
for October, as the second last draw take place in Mellary this coming Friday
night October 28th. Congratulations to Catherine Howard who was the
confined winner for September.

Heffernan) passed away last week. Ar Dheis de go raibh an h-anam.
JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
Our Junior Footballers made the trip to Kill last Saturday
afternoon to play the home side in the quarter-final of the John J Murphy
sponsored competition, and following a good game of Football, the Villagers
came out winners on a score-line of 0-15 to 2-05.
Greg Murphy got the first score on the board with a well
taken point to settle the team. Further points from Sam Lawless, Cormac O'
Driscoll and Alex Kinsella extended the lead to four points. This lead was
reduced when Kill struck for a goal, but the team kept the pressure on with
further scores from Marty Freeman and John Ahern to leave Ferrybank leading 0-9
to 1-02 at the break.
Greg Murphy added further points to extend the lead, but the
lads were rocked by another Kill goal on the counter attack, with the defence
stretched. Kill now began to test Ferrybank by closing to within a point, but
credit to the lads, as they coped with the pressure, and points from Alex,
John, Greg and Luke sealed a deserved win for the side.
The team now go on and play Ballyduff Lower in the semi-final,
possibly in a fortnight’s time.
