A.G.M.:
On Monday, February 13th (tonight) at 7:30pm, the club’s A.G.M. will take place in the Boys’ National School. Everyone is welcome to come along and attend, particularly new members, who would like to get involved in any capacity of the club. With the new club house beginning to take shape, this is a crucial year for the club, and your say is vital to ensure it keeps going in the right direction. We look forward to welcoming everyone on the night.
PREMIER INTERMEDIATE HURLING:
The new Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship will commence this year. Ferrybank have been drawn alongside Ballygunner, Clashmore/Kinsalebeg and Ballysaggart. There are two groups of four teams, with each team playing three league games, and depending where you finish in the group, your opponent in the quarter-finals will either be Tramore, Ballyduff Lower, Cappoquin or Shamrocks. No fixture dates have been confirmed as of yet.
UNDER 8 CAMOGIE:
There was another excellent turnout on Saturday morning which saw 25 girls being put through their paces in the hurling alley on a good morning for training. It also saw another three new recruits make their debuts, and a warm welcome to Victoria, Malea and Moloney, and no doubt they will make excellent additions to the squad.
Training continues on Saturday morning from 11 am to 12 pm, and, as always, new members are most welcome to come along and join in. Thanks to the trainers and mentors for all their help and assistance.
UNDER 12 CAMOGIE:
The U12 Camogie team are also back in the field, and training takes place on Thursdays at 6:30pm and Saturday mornings at 10am, where new members are welcome to come down and enjoy the skills of our national game.

TEAM 100:
With sporting activities resuming the club grounds, many people will have seen the progression of the new clubhouse development. This is the biggest capital development project in the history of Ferrybank GAA club. With the recent upsurge in the underage section, this development will benefit these juvenile members and indeed the wider community far into the future.
This project will deliver a new building, consisting of modern dressing rooms, and a community orientated multipurpose rooms for all.
Team 100 has delivered numerous projects for Ferrybank GAA club in the past, including our hurling alley, running track, ball stoppers, pitch drainage, car park tarmacking, and the initial enabling works for this new project. We would ask everyone associated with the club; parents, supporters and players to join Team 100, and contribute to the continued development of the club and community. Please talk to any member, mentor, trainer or e-mail ferrybankgaa@gmail.com for information on how to join Team 100.
