INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
Our Intermediate hurlers shared the spoils with Clonea in
their latest game in the Gerry Kennedy Crash Repairs sponsored competition at
Walsh Park last Saturday afternoon.
Both sides will reflect back thinking they could have won
the game. Robbie Carew opened the scoring with a good point early on, but
Clonea started to get a grip on the game and knocked over four points to open
up a lead. Mark O' Brien reduced the gap, but Clonea were playing the better
hurling and extended the lead to seven points when a long range free went all
the way to the Ferrybank net. This goal seemed to wake up Ferrybank, and four
unanswered points from MJ Sutton and Mark O' Brien reduced the gap to three at
the break.
Quick second-half points from Mark and Robbie had the sides
level, and just as it seemed Ferrybank might kick on, Clonea dug deep and
punished the frees Ferrybank conceded. Further scores from MJ and Mark kept the
game in the balance, and entering the final 10 minutes, Clonea held a three
point lead, when a Ferrybank sideline ball was gathered by MJ Sutton and brilliantly
sidestepped the Clonea defence, and unleashed a bullet of a shot into the top
corner of the Clonea net to level up the game.
With the game in the melting pot, Clonea, went back in front
on two occasions, only for Mark O' Brien to cancel out the Clonea lead and the
game ended level on 1-15 each. As stated, it was a game both sides could have
won, with both sides guilty of missing some good scoring chances, and conceding
some soft frees. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team on the
day.

CAMOGIE:
Ferrybank’s Intermediate Camogie team qualified for the League
Final by defeating Gaultír's second team on Sunday evening in Dunmore, winning
on a scoreline of 4-15 to 0-06. An Áine Prendergast goal midway through the
opening half set up with win, and at the break, Ferrybank led by 1-08 to 0-03.
Our defence withstood some early pressure from Gaultír at
the start of the second-half, but a Niamh Ahearne goal eased the pressure, and
further goals from Helen McEvoy and Niamh ensured a place in the final against
An Rinn.
