Well done to Mark O' Brien and Mj Sutton who were part of
the Waterford Senior Hurling panel that recorded a good victory over Cork in their
opening game in this year’s Allianz National Hurling League in Walsh Park last
Sunday afternoon.
MAINTENANCE:
Progress is coming along nicely on the club’s grounds, where
Patsy and his crew are working away at tarmacking the carpark, installing ducting
to enhance the drainage system, and also the main entrance is being concreted. These
projects will also serve for enabling work to additional upcoming projects.
This work has been funded by the Field Fixer contribution
scheme, which has delivered numerous capital projects for the club. Ferrybank GAA
club would like to thank all of those Field Fixers for their continued support.
