ABP sponsored Ferrybank GAA Weekly Notes


INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
Our Intermediate hurlers made the trip to play St. Molleran’s in the Intermediate hurling league last Sunday morning, and came away with a 1-21 to 0-09 win. Despite being short a few players, Ferrybank hit the ground running putting over some nice scores. The team missed a couple of goal chances early on; however, they finally scored one midway through the opening half, with Robbie Carew raising a green flag from a close range finish. Points from Mark O' Brien, John Ahern, Luke Flynn and Oisín MacCathmhaoil gave Ferrybank a healthy half-time lead.
In the second-half, Ferrybank continued to keep the score board ticking over with fine efforts from Sam Lawless, Shane O’ Sullivan and Mark O’ Brien. Even though the selectors made a number of changes, Ferrybank ran out worthy winners. The management would have been pleased with this performance, especially some of the younger players, who acquitted themselves quite well.
Ferrybank’s opening game in the Gerry Kennedy Crash Repairs sponsored competition is set for Saturday April 7th at 2pm in Walsh Park against St. Saviour’s.
