RE-OPENING OF GAA
GROUNDS:
Last Monday week saw us re-open our club grounds, and like
all other clubs in the county, it was with great delight and relief. Prior to
opening the Grounds, we followed all the protocols in line with the GAA directives,
with players, parents, mentors and COVID-19 supervisors having to complete the GAA
online module regarding the safe return to Gaelic games. We would ask everyone
involved to adhere to all of these guidelines.
INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
With a shorter GAA season in all grades, the revised
Intermediate hurling Championship draw was made last Monday night, with
Ferrybank drawn to play Portlaw, which is scheduled to take place on the
weekend of July 24th – July 26th.
All teams are guaranteed just two games, so there is no
margin for error. The losers of this game will play the losers of St. Saviours and
St. Mollerans.
JUNIOR HURLING:
The John J Murphy sponsored competition has seen Ferrybank
paired with Butlerstown, Tramore and St. Saviours, with the top two in each
group qualifying for the semi-finals.
MINOR HURLING:
The 2020 Minor Hurling Championship will commence on August
1st with Ferrybank paired with St. Saviours and Erin’s Own in
Division Three.
MINOR FOOTBALL:
The Minor Football championship, which originally started in
February, will re-commence on Monday August 24th with Ferrybank
playing away to St. Saviours at 7:30pm.
Back in February, Ferrybank had travelled to Cappoquin to
play the homeside and recorded a fine 4-05 to 2-03 win, so that result still
stands.
UNDER 15 HURLING:
The Déise in Dublin sponsored competition will start on
Friday July 17th with Ferrybank playing Tramore at home at 5:30pm.
Other teams in the group are Mount Sion, Ballygunner, Sacred Heart, St. Marys,
Roanmore and Passage.
CAMOGIE:
Ferrybank Intermediate Camogie team have been grouped with
Modeligo and An Rinn in the Hooper Dolan Insurances sponsored competition, with
the opening game scheduled for August 1st.
KELLOGG'S CÚL CAMPS:
The 2020 Kellogg’s Cúl Camp will take place in Ferrybank GAA
grounds from Monday 3rd to Friday 7th August. The Cúl
Camp is for Children between the ages of 6-13 years old. It will start from
10am until 2pm. You can book online at https://www.kelloggsculcamps.gaa.ie/
DÉISE DRAW:
The 2020 Déise draw will commence on August 26th.
It will be the same format as last year, with six draws, costing €15 per draw.
Like every year, this is the club’s main source of income, where 70% of ticket
sales is retained by us, which goes towards the main day-to-day running of the
club. We hope that everyone will sign up, and support the Déise Draw.
