Our Intermediate hurlers begin their Eastern Championship campaign

the opposition in Kill. The team have prepared well so far, playing some useful
challenge games; let’s hope they can make a winning start. Please come along
and support the team.
UNDER 11 HURLING:
The Waterford City League gets up and running this weekend, and
our U11 hurlers are in action with an away game against Ballyduff Lower at
6:30pm on Friday, April 5th. Your support will be appreciated on the
night.
MOTHERS & OTHERS:
The Ferrybank Mothers & Others Ladies Football team (for
women over 25) have commenced training for the season. It takes place every
Tuesday night in the Hurling alley from 7pm-8pm. New members are most welcome
to come along and join in.
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; 2nd prize of €2,500, 3rd
prize of €1,000; all the way down to prize number twenty (€150). Also, there
will be special bonus draws of a Harvey Travel voucher and Super-Valu vouchers
to be won.
This is the club’s main source of income, with 70% of the
sale of the ticket been retained by the club, which goes towards paying for
day-to-day operations. So we would encourage everyone to support the Déise
Draw.
