GAA NOTES

INTERMEDIATE HURLING: Our Intermediate Hurlers played Kilshelian last Tuesday night in Ferrybank in a challenge game, and following a good game of hurling it was Ferrybank who emerged winners on a scoreline of 4-13 to 2-13. The first half performance from Ferrybank was excellent with some very good scores been taken, following some good passages of play. At half time Ferrybank led 4-7 to -5pts, with Sam Lawless in good scoring form at left half forward by knocking over 4pts from play, with Cormac O' Driscoll, Phil Blake, and Damien Walsh scoring the remaining points. Goals from Seamus Burchill(2), Eoin O' Neill, and Damien Walsh put the home side into a healthy half time lead. Ferrybank made some changes in the second half, as Kilshelian came more and more into the game by putting over some fine scores, and they got 2 goals in the space of six minutes to reduce the gap, as the home side took their foot of the pedal, however some fine points late on from Mark Russell, Cormac O' Meara(2), Eoin O' Neill(2), Sam Lawless making sure the home side ran out winners. This was a good performance from the team, particulary in the first half, with the defence giving very little away and setting up good attacks for the forwards to take their scores. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team. Next game Friday 5th August home to Kilmacow at 7:30pm challenge game.
