INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
All roads lead to Walsh Park this coming Saturday October 15th
at 3:45pm, where Ferrybank compete in the final of the Gerry Kennedy Crash Repairs
competition against Dunhill. Its Ferrybank’s first Intermediate final in
fifteen years, and no doubt the team will be going into the game as underdogs,
against a side who are unbeaten in this year’s competition and will start as
firm favourites. Once again, we are appealing for all Ferrybank supporters on
the day to turn up and cheer on the lads, as your support will be crucial. Best
of luck to the team.
JUNIOR HURLING:
Our Junior B Hurlers exited the John J Murphy competition
last Thursday night in Carrickbeg, against a strong Portlaw side on a score-line
of 2-17 to 3-08. It was Portlaw who made the brighter start with two points,
before Jeff Lawless settled the team with a point. Portlaw replied with a goal
from the penalty spot to extend the lead, but Ferrybank hung in there. Points
from Alex Kinsella, Darryl Griffin and Jeff Lawless ensured Ferrybank trailed
by four at the break.
Portlaw, again started the second-half well with three quick
points, but Jeff, with a brace of points, kept Ferrybank in there, and the gap
went down to four when Marty Freeman scored a goal from an acute angle.
Ferrybank’s defence were working hard keeping them in the
game, and Heno in the goal pulled off a few great saves, but with Portlaw
bringing in fresh players, they began to pull away with a second goal.
Ciaran Doyle got a second goal from a free, and Jeff got a
third goal late on when his shot deceived the Portlaw defence, and ended up in
the corner of the net. Despite this defeat, Ferrybank still have the Shield Final
to look forward to against Kilmacthomas.
