All-IRELAND MINOR HURLING CHAMPIONS:

Congratulations and well done to the Waterford Minor Hurling team on being crowned All-Ireland Minor Hurling Champions in Semple Stadium, Thurles last Saturday evening.

Throughout the campaign the team have been consistent with their performances, and their hard work has paid off, and no doubt, it has given the county a big boost. Well done to the management and the players.

 

JUNIOR HURLING:

Ferrybank’s Junior hurlers recorded a good win in their opening game in this year’s championship, defeating De La Salle on a score line 2-19 to 2-11. This was an entertaining game, with the result in doubt until the final few minutes, when a second Ferrybank goal sealed the win.

Both sides traded early points with Shane Oates and Conor Haley pointing for the homeside. However, De La salle got the opening goal when a long-range ball into the area wasn't cleared, and it was fired into the net from close range giving Kyle Daly in the goal no chance. Points from Shane Oates and Conor Haley kept the lads in touch. Ferrybank hit a purple patch with two fine long-range scores from Eddie Daly, and moments later player-manager Cian Martin goaled from close range with a first-time strike on the ground to put the team ahead. Ferrybank’s defence held well in the opening half, giving little away, and further points just before the break from Conor (2) and Shane ensured a 1-09 to 1-06 lead at the break.

Further scores from Conor and Shane extended the lead after the break to five, but De La Salle got right back into it with a goal to reduce the gap to two points. However, the lads kept their nerve and three unanswered scores from John Collins, Shane Oates, and Conor Haley brought the lead back out to five. De la Salle kept probing away, and a good save from Kyle Daly prevented a third goal, but they got the next three points to reduce the gap once again.

A fine point from the hard-working Greg Murphy kept the scoreboard ticking over, and with only three points in it, entering the closing minutes, the lads finished strong, with a point from Conor Haley and a goal from Shane Oates who drilled a low shot past the goalkeeper from close range. Two late points from Conor closed out a good win for the team, who will improve from this game as the season goes on. Next up for the Juniors is a trip to play Mount Sion on Sunday, July 6^th at 12 noon.

Scorers: Conor Haley (0-10), Shane Oates (1-05), Cian Martin (1-00), Eddie Daly (0-02), John Collins (0-01), Greg Murphy (0-01),

 

UNDER 16 HURLING:

The combined Ferrybank/Erin’s Own side were well defeated by a good An Ghaeltacht side last Wednesday evening.

Next up is a trip to Bushy Park tonight (Monday, June 30^th) away to Bricky Rangers at 7pm.

 

MINOR HURLING:

UNDER 14 HURLING:

Ferrybank’s Under 14 side got their championship up and running last Monday with a good win over a spirited Ballygunner side on a scoreline of 3-09 to 2-06. Early points from Paul and James got the lads off to a good start, but a Ballygunner goal levelled it up. The team kept playing away, and got rewarded with two goals in as many minutes from Alex to open a healthy half-time lead. Credit to Ballygunner as they came out and replied quickly with a 2nd goal, but any chance of a comeback was quickly dashed as a third goal from Paul sealed a good win on the night.

KEARNEY’s CATERING ALL-COUNTY HURLING LEAGUE:

Our Senior hurlers concluded their All-County Hurling League campaign last Friday with a defeat to Tramore. The team were slow to start with Tramore making the early running, but they slowly clawed their way back into it, with scores from Robbie Carew, Fionn McGarrity, Harry Flanagan, and Caolán Mac Cathmhaoil. However, on the stroke of half-time, Tramore got a goal to lead by six at the break.

As the second half wore on, Tramore held a comfortable lead, and despite a goal from Caolán Mac Cathmhaoil, it wasn't enough to close the gap at full time. The team have now concluded their league, and the focus now turns to the Championship season, which commences on July 12^th.

The Senior hurlers defeated St. Molleran’s in their latest game in the Kearney’s Catering All-County Hurling league last Friday on a scoreline of 3-19 to 1-15.  Despite being short a number of players, plenty of game time was given to the younger players who will have benefitted from it. Early points from John Ahern and Ruaidhri McGarrity had Ferrybank on the board. The opening goal soon arrived when a long ball from John Ahern sailed all the way into the net. Ferrybank slowly got the upper hand, and further scores from Shane Oates (6), Luke Flynn, Fionn McGarrity, Sean Adeyemi, and Ruaidhri McGarrity had Ferrybank leading 1-12 to 0-06.

The second half started off very scrappy, with scores at a premium early on, as St. Mollerans benefitted with scores from placed balls to close the gap to five points. However, a fine second goal from Ruaidhri McGarrity extended the lead. Credit to St. Mollerans for battling away, and JoJo O’Driscoll on the goal pulled off three fine saves from close range that prevented St. Mollerans from raising a green flag. Points from Robbie Carew (2), Alex Kinsella, and a second goal from Ruaidhri McGarrity closed out the scoring for Ferrybank, and with the last play of the game, JoJo was finally beaten when a close-range shot got the better of him.

CAMOGIE LEAGUE FINAL:

It wasn't to be for the Ferrybank Junior Camogie team in last Saturday's League Final at a sun-drenched Kill GAA grounds as they were well defeated by a very good An Rinn side.

From the very outset, An Rinn made the running and early scores had Ferrybank under pressure throughout the game. It was a tough opening 10 minutes as An Rinn scored 1-04 without reply, before the girls got on the scoreboard with a point from Valerie O’Brien. A second An Rinn goal extended the lead, but Ferrybank replied with a goal of their own when a pass from Valerie found Aine who slotted the ball to the net. Another point from Grainne Heffernan reduced the gap, but a slicker, quicker An Rinn side finished the opening half stronger with a couple of goals and points. Despite a fine score from Eve, it was An Rinn who were in control at the break.

Early points from Roisin and Valerie saw the girls a lot more competitive in the second half, as they kept battling away, which was rewarded with a goal from Amber. It was a busy afternoon for Claire in the goal, as she made several fine stops in the goal to keep the scoreline down.

Credit to the team as they battled away, this young squad are still learning, and will improve as the season goes on. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team on the day.

TEAM: Claire, Ava H, Ava O' B, Aoife, Siobhan, Grainne (0-01), Niamh, Lydia, Eimear, Roisin (0-01), Eve (0-01), Aine (1-00), Valerie (0-05), Kayleigh, Tara F, Ciara, Amber (1-00), Clodagh W, Tara P, Clodagh Wa, Cliodhna, Megan, Brooke, Rebecca.

 

MINOR HURLING:

Ferrybank/St. Saviours combined side were defeated by Passage last Thursday in Ballybeg on a scoreline of 0-19 to 2-11. Despite short a few players on the night, this was a close encounter throughout. There was little to separate the side at the break with Passage holding a 0-11 to 1-06 lead, but an early goal from Sam in the second half, had the team just ahead.

Plenty of wides from Ferrybank/St. Saviours didn't help their cause, but as the game went on, Passage held their nerve and got the scores to claim the points.

Next up for the team is a trip to Kilgobnet this coming Thursday, May 22^nd at 7pm to play St. Patricks.
