MINOR FOOTBALL:
Our Minor Footballers made the trip to Cappoquin on Sunday
morning to play Affane/St Olivers/Cappoquin in the opening game of the Minor
Football Championship and came away with an excellent win on a scoreline of 4-05
to 2-02.
Having a slight wind advantage in the opening half, there
wasn’t much between the sides. Ruaidhri McGarrity scored a well-taken goal to
give the side the lead, and with Shane Oates scoring some fine points,
Ferrybank lead 1-04 to 1-02 at the break.
With this lead, entering the second-half, the players began
to play with confidence, with the defence holding firm, and this was reflected
up in the forward line, scoring crucial goals in the process, from Marco,
Odhran, and a second from Ruaidhri which sealed the win.
This was a great performance from the team, and fully
deserved the win.
