JUNIOR HURLING:
Ferrybank’s Junior hurlers recorded back to back wins following
Saturday’s victory over table toppers St. Paul’s in the John J Murphy sponsored
competition with a 1-19 to 1-08 win. The opening exchanges were evenly
contested with Ciaran Doyle scoring two points to level the game up. However, the
second quarter saw Ferrybank take a grip on the game, with the half-backs and
midfielders getting on top, setting up scoring chances for the forwards with
Philly Blake, Tony Heffernan, Darryl Griffin, Ciaran Doyle and Tommy Carew all
contributing to the scoreboard. At half-time Ferrybank led by 0-11 to 0-04.
Ferrybank continued the second-half on top, and with Greg
Murphy, Alex Kinsella and Philly registering scores, St. Paul’s gave themselves
a lifeline, when a long range free sailed all the way into the Ferrybank net to
reduce the gap to six points. Tony Heffernan saw his goal bound shot from close
range just go over the bar. However, moments later, Tony got his goal, when
Alex Power found Philly Blake, and Philly went on his trademark solo, leaving a
few St. Paul’s players trailing before hand passing to Tony who slotted the
ball into the net. Closing points from Quinny and the impressive Philly saw Ferrybank
run out worthy winners.
A good display from the team, with everyone doing their job,
and they can now turn their attention to next Thursday night with an away game
to Clonea at 7:30pm.
