TEAM 100:
With the playing season back up and running, 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.
Joining Team 100 involves paying a €25 per month standing-order (€6.25 per week) to the club, which covers your full-membership for the year. This works out as the price of a few cups of coffee/tea a week.
Please talk to any member, mentor, trainer or e-mail ferrybankgaa@gmail.com for an application form to join Team 100.

UNDER 9 HURLING:
Our Under 9 hurlers travelled to play Butlerstown last Thursday in a good competitive match. Both sides showed a great appetite for the game, and despite the hot weather, no stone was left unturned on the field, and credit to both teams for an exciting game. Thanks to Butlerstown for inviting us over.
UNDER 8 HURLING:
The Under 8 hurlers welcomed De La Salle last Wednesday night. With both sides fielding three teams on the night, the standard of hurling was impressive from everyone on the field. Well done to Max who made his debut for the team, and no doubt a bright future lies ahead in the green jersey. The hard work is certainly paying off for the team, and the level of skill shown was very impressive by the players on the night, and the coaches and mentors will be delighted to see it paying dividends. Thanks to De La Salle for coming over.
