JUNIOR FOOTBALL:
Our Junior Footballers recorded a valuable win over Roanmore
in Cleaboy last Friday night in their John J Murphy sponsored championship
clash; winning on a score-line of 1-12 to 3-05.
The lads had to survive a late comeback from their hosts in
order to claim the two points. With the wind at their backs in the opening
half, Ferrybank opened the scoring with a fine Tommy Carew point, but Roanmore
levelled in up moments later. Cormac O' Driscoll regained the lead with a
point, but again, Roanmore levelled it up with a close range free. From there on,
Ferrybank began to control the play and got rewarded with points from Luke
Flynn (2), Sam Lawless, Kevin Hurley and Naoise MacCathmhaoil. Going in at the
half-time break Ferrybank led 0-07 to 0-02.
Roanmore got off to a flying start with a goal in the
opening minute, but credit to the team with the response of points from Sam (2)
and Kevin to open a four point lead. Greg Murphy had a glorious chance of a
goal, when his shot from close range was somehow saved by the leg of the
Roanmore goalie. Moments later though, a fine passing move was rewarded, when
Tiernan Morrissey popped up in the full-forward position and calmly slotted the
ball to the net to open a seven point lead.
However, a couple of minutes later, all the hard work was
undone, as Roanmore replied with a goal of their own. With the game in the
balance, Ferrybank kept playing, and Kevin Hurley put over two fine scores to
extend the lead. With time almost up, a high ball into the Ferrybank area was
punched to the net to reduce the gap to the minimum, but Ferrybank held their
nerve in those final few minutes to see it out.
A good display from the team, with plenty of scoring chances
that went a begging but the team played some good Football over the sixty
minutes.
