MINOR HURLING: Our Minor Hurlers were edged out by the miminum of margains last night by Passage on a scoreline of 1-14 to 1-13. This was a game that could have went either way, but in the end it was the visitors who took their chances when it mattered to claim the two points. There was very little between the two sides in the first half, with both sides trading good scores,with Mark O' Brien, Robbie Carew, Darren Hickey pointing well, and it was level at -7pts each at half time. Ferrybank made a good start to the second half with a point from Robbie Carew and a goal from Cormac Heffernan to put them four points clear, but Passage came back and scored four unanswered points to level it up. Points from Luke Flynn put Ferrybank 2 points clear, and Ferrybank missed a few good scoring chances to extend their lead, and moments later they were punished as a free in from the 21 was driven into the Ferrybank net, to put Passage a point clear. Eoin Falconer responeded with a well taken score to level things up, as points were traded by either side, but in the closing five minutes Passage scored two points to leave them clear. Luke Flynn replied with a point, to reduce the gap to one, but tried as they could, Ferrybank were unable to get the levelling point, as time went against them. This was a disappointing defeat, as they had some good chances to even win the game. With three remaining games to go, Ferrybank will need to win them all if they have any chance of making it to the knockout stages. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team on the night. Next game Monday August 22nd home to Eirns Own at 7pm.
