ABP sponsored Ferrybank GAA Weekly Notes



INTERMEDIATE CAMOGIE FINAL:
This coming Saturday September 30th at 3pm, will see the Ferrybank Intermediate Camogie team compete in the County final against An Rinn. This will be the girls’ biggest game in their careers, as they are one step away from the senior ranks.
So far this year, An Rinn have had the upper hand in previous matches, winning by a couple of points, so no doubt, another close game will be on the cards. The girls have put in a huge effort throughout the season, and let’s hope their hard work and dedication will pay off.
Please come along on the day and support the team, as it will be appreciated. Best of luck to Shiner, Paul and the squad. At the time of going to print, no confirmed venue has been decided, so please keep an eye out on the social media etc.

UNDER 10 FOOTBALL:
Well done to the U10 hurlers who recorded a great win over Ballygunner last week.

UNDER 14 HURLING:
Hard luck to the U14 hurlers who were defeated by Kilrossanty last Monday night in the County semi-final. The lads put in a huge effort, but soft goals conceded was ultimately their downfall. Despite clawing their way back into the game, Kilrossanty got the crucial scores when it mattered.

GREYHOUND NIGHT:
