UNDER 7 HURLING:
Our Under 7 hurlers got their season underway last Saturday
morning at the annual Ballygunner blitz. Ferrybank played 3 games, two against
St. Declan’s and one against Sacred Heart.
This was the first match for many of the players, but it didn’t
show, as they got stuck in from the start, scoring many goals and defending
well throughout the games.
Well done lads, next outing is at the same venue next
Saturday.
Team: Zack Mullally, Micholi, Max, Conor, Finn, Gavin,
Scott, Adam, Luke, Harry, Morgan, Zack Griffin.
