Own. This is the team’s final game in the group stages. They have already
qualified for the quarter-finals, which will take place on Friday/September August
9th / 10th August, so it will be a quick turnaround for the team.

WORLD GAMES:
Last Tuesday night, Ferrybank GAA club hosted Charlotte
James Connolly’s from North Carolina USA, who were competing at the Renault GAA
world games at the W.I.T. Arena.
On arrival, local historian Jack Burtchaell gave Charlotte
James Connolly’s a quick talk on the history of Ferrybank, while Declan O'
Meara also spoke on how the club was formed with different guises, before settling
with the name Ferrybank.
One of the original founders of Charlotte James Connolly GAA,
Kevin Devin from Craughwell in Co. Galway was presented with the club’s home
and away jersey, along with the Waterford jersey. They were then treated to a
fantastic selection of food that was put on for them, and a huge thanks to
Nicola Hoban and the Mother & Others Ladies Football team for preparing the
food on the night. The players and supporters of James Connolly then went down
to the field for a leisurely puck around with the underage players and
displayed plenty of skill with the sliothar, which impressed everyone, and they
stood in for plenty of photos, before departing the field. A great night was
had by all.
