UNDER 15 FOOTBALL:
Congratulations to the Under 15 Footballers who were crowned
Division 3 Eastern Champions with a thrilling win over St Saviours on a score-line
of 2-04 to 0-06 win.
JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
Our Junior Footballers exited the John J Murphy sponsored
competition at the semi-final stage last Wednesday night in Carriganore where
they were defeated by a stronger Ballyduff Lower side. Ballyduff dominated the
opening stages, with the opening two points, and moments they capitalised on a
mistake in the Ferrybank defence and scored a goal to extend the lead.
Ferrybank got back into it with points from Luke Flynn and
MJ Sutton. The lads enjoyed plenty of possession, and missed a great chance of
a goal, when Marty Freeman shot from close range when wide. Further points from
Ballyduff put them in control, and despite a point from Oisín MacCathmhaoil,
Ballyduff held a six point lead at the break.
Ballyduff added another two quick points at the start of the
second-half, before another mistake in the defence left Ballyduff in for goal
number two, and at that stage the game was up, as Ballyduff added a third goal.
MJ Sutton replied with a consolation goal late on. No doubt, the better team won, and thanks to
Nicky and Pat for their help with the team during the year.
PANEL: Odhran MacCathmhaoil, Aidan Synnott, Damien Ahern,

UNDER 21 HURLING:
Ferrybank/Erin's Own have combined for this years Under 21
A' Championship, and last Sunday in Dunhill the team took on Clonea in the
quarter-finals. Following a thrilling 80 minutes, it was the combined team that
won by a point on a score-line of 3-13 to 0-21.
It looked like a comfortable win for the combined side as
they blitzed Clonea with three goals in the opening 10 minutes with John Ahern,
Robbie Carew and Eoin Daly finding the net. Points from Mark O' Brien and Robbie
Carew, had them 10 points up.
However, some poor frees conceded left Clonea back into the
game as the opening half wore on. Points from Sam O' Neill, Mark Shanahan and Mark
O' Brien ensured the combined team lead by 3-05 to 0-10 at the break.
Clonea started the second-half brightly and three further
frees reduced the gap, but Eoin Daly and Mark Shanahan kept the combined side
ahead. With the game in the melting pot, Clonea were awarded a penalty, but
Johno Brown in the goal, pulled off a top save, diving to his right to prevent
a goal. Clonea were getting a grip on things, and three more frees edged them
ahead for the first time, and it looked like they would hold on, but Sam O'
Neill popped up with a point to send the game to extra time.
Clonea started with two points from play, but the combined
side levelled matters with Alex Kinsella and Eoin Daly pointing. With the game
there for the taking, Clonea edged ahead in the closing minutes, and it looked
as they would advance, but a pointed free from Mark Shanahan, and with the last
play, Robbie Carew evaded his markers and pointed from a tight angle to secure
a win. This was tough on Clonea who fought back from a bad start, and really
put it up to Ferrybank/Erin’s Own on the day, but the lads held firm, and no
doubt can come on from this game, where they play Mount Sion in the semi-finals.
PANEL: Johno Brown, David Atkins, John Frampton, Stephen
Long, Craig Brown, MJ Sutton, Jamie Knox, Mark O' Brien (0-02), Gavin Jacob,
