ABP sponsored Ferrybank GAA Weekly Notes


UNDER 19 FOOTBALL:
Our U19 Footballers qualified for the semi-final of the Whites Bar sponsored competition, where their opponents Tramore conceded the game. The lads now go on and play De La Salle on Saturday March 16th, with a time and venue yet to be confirmed.

UNDER 17 FOOTBALL:
Our U17 Footballers are back in action this coming Sunday March 10th with a home game against St. Saviours at 11:30am. This is a winner takes all game, with the winners qualifying for a place in the quarter-finals, and your support on the day will be crucial, so come along and support the team on the day.

CAMOGIE:
Hard luck to Gailltir Camogie team that were narrowly defeated in the final of the AIB All Ireland Intermediate Club Camogie final in Croke Park last Sunday afternoon by Clonduff of Down.

JUVENILE GAELIC GAMES ACADEMY:
The club’s Nursery Programme continues each and every Saturday morning from 10am to 11am in the GAA grounds for boys and girls aged between 5 and 6 years old. The nursery programme teaches children the basic movements and skills required to play Gaelic games including agility, balance, coordination, running, jumping, throwing, kicking, striking and catching. All equipment, hurleys and helmets will be supplied.

DÉISE DRAW:
The 2019 Déise Draw will start on Wednesday, April 24th. It will be the same format as last year, with six monthly draws at €15 per month, with first prize been €12,500; all the way down to prize number twenty. This is the club’s main source of income, with 70% of the sale of the ticket been retained by the club. So we would encourage everyone to support the Déise Draw.
