CAMOGIE LEAGUE FINAL:
Our Camogie team was defeated by An Rinn in the final of the
Intermediate League at Walsh Park last Saturday afternoon, going down on a
score-line of 3-05 to 1-08. Conceding three first half-goals, despite having
played well, was our downfall. Excellent first half-scores from Niamh Ahearne,
Aine Prendergast and Valerie O' Brien, kept Ferrybank in the hunt as they trailed
by 3-04 to 0-05.
Ferrybank got a huge lift at the start of the second-half,
when a Valerie O' Brien delivery went directly into the net, but tried as they
could, Ferrybank were unable to bridge the three points in it at the full time
whistle. The focus now turns to the championship, and hopefully we can improve
from winning the Junior last year.

UNDER 12 HURLING:
Our Under 12 hurlers faced their toughest test of the campaign
so far when they took on Clan Na Gael last Friday night. However, this did not

superb performance all round, winning on a score-line of 5-04 to 3-04.
Under the guidance of Paul, Niall, John and Brian, the
results are shown with all the hard work being put in. Well done lads, keep up
