UNDER 13 FOOTBALL:
The combined Ferrybank/Sacred Heart combined side were narrowly defeated in the Division 3 Football final last Tuesday, as St. Mollerans came strong in the second-half to claim the spoils on a scoreline of 5-11 to 5-06.
It was an entertaining match from start to finish with the combined side holding a 1-03 to 1-01 lead at the break. St Mollerans came a lot more into the game, and began to score goals at crucial stages to run out 5-11 to 5-06 winners.
Credit to Ferrybank/ Sacred Heart side as they kept battling away, and had six different scores on the night.
TEAM: Tommy Lea, Jamie Savage, Alfie Swift, Callum Rellis, Martin Flanagan, Eoin Knox, Rian Byrne, Charlie De Courcey, Finn Carter, Jack Dowling, Adam Cusack, Harry Sutton, Luke O' Connor, JJ Flynn, Fionn O' Sullivan, Jamie Smith, Jake Rellis, Naser Bashar, Conor Morrissey. Special thanks to Naoise, John, Aine, Darren and Phelim for assisting with the team throughout the campaign.
MINOR FOOTBALL:
Our Minor Footballers were defeated by St. Marys last Tuesday. The damage was done in the opening half, as St Marys built up a big lead. However, a much improved second-half display from the side saw them compete with the opposition, and with a bit more composure in front of goal, could have had a green flag or two on the night.
