JUNIOR HURLING:
Our Junior Hurlers made it two from two in this year’s Eastern Championship with a good win over Mount Sion last Sunday morning on a scoreline of 2-18 to 1-10.
A strong second half performance from the team was key to this result, as Mount Sion held a 1-05 to 0-6 lead at the break. However, the team got stronger as the game wore on, and crucial goals from Maciek Tomczuk and Shane Oates gave the lads a well-deserved win.
Next up for the juniors is a trip to play Passage on Sunday, July 13th at 12:00 noon.
MINOR HURLING:
The combined Ferrybank/St. Saviours side were well defeated by St. Patricks in their opening game in this year’s minor Championship last Wednesday in Colligan. The team were short a few key players, and this proved crucial as a much stronger St Pat's side took advantage and ran out comfortable winners.
Hopefully, the combined side can get back to winning ways this coming Wednesday, July 9th where they play St. Olivers in Ferrybank at 7:30pm
UNDER 16 HURLING:
