UNDER 16 HURLING:
Our Under 16

over Sacred Heart in Poleberry. The hero on the night was Shane Oates who
scored 3-01, with Glen Power scoring the other goal. Points from Charlie
McLoughlin, Ryan Tierney, Luke Butler, Jack Keogh-Moran and Nathon Carton added
to the scoreboard.

good overall performance from the team, and they can look forward now with
confidence to the next game, which is scheduled to take place on Wednesday

UNDER 12 HURLING:

the day throughout. Thanks to all the helpers who made it special.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
Our Junior
Footballers qualified for the semi-final of the John J Murphy sponsored
competition with a 1-18 to 2-04 win over Mount Sion in Ferrybank last Friday
night. With both sides needing to win this game, Mount Sion made an excellent
start to the game, with a goal in the opening two minutes.
However,
Ferrybank came back in impressive fashion with points from Graham Coady, Sam
Lawless and John Ahern. Moments later, Philly Blake received a pass from Graham
Coady and slotted the ball into the net. Ferrybank kept the pressure up, and
played some impressive football, and were rewarded with further points from
Tommy Carew, Greg Murphy, Sam, Marty Freeman and Graham. By half-time the lads
had built up a 1-11 to 1-2 lead.
Mount Sion
came more into it in the second-half, and were unlucky with a number of scoring
chances. However, they did take a goal chance that came their way to reduce the
gap to six points midway through the half, but Philly, Greg and Graham steadied
the ship with points
With the game
end to end, Ferrybank had a number of goal chances to kill the game, but didn’t
take them. John Ahern and Sam finished the scoring on the night. This was a
good performance from the team, scoring some excellent points, and working as a
team, playing some good football at times.
