UNDER 21 HURLING: Our Under 21 hurlers were defeated by Eirns Own in Cleaboy this morning in the semi final replay of the under 21 hurling Eastern championship on a scoreline of 1-10 to 1-4. This game never got going as a contest, as their was a lot of start stops throughout the sixty minutes. Eirns Own playing with a breeze got the first two points of the game, but after eight minutes Ferrybank were awarded a penelty after Greg Murphy was fouled in the square. Mark Russell stepped up and his penelty was well saved and out for a '65, which was converted by Damien Ahern. Another Eirns Own point extended their lead to 2 points before Cormac O' Driscoll reduced the deficit to a point. Eirns Own scored the next three points to increase their lead to four, but Eric Corcoran got a fine point to leave a goal between the sides with a few minutes to half time, and just on the stroke of the whistle another point from Eirns Own left a four point gap in -7pts to -3pts in their favour. With a breeze in their favour, Mark Russell scored a fourth point to leave three between them. Another Eirns own point extended their lead, but in the 42nd minutes, Sam Lawless got a goal for Ferrybank when he turned onto his left and his shot took a deflection which ended up in the net. With a point between them, Ferrybank had some good chances to kick on from their with Stephen O' Neill and Sam missing some good goal chances. Eirns Own wethered the storm and with 10 minutes left scored a crucial goal to extend their lead to four points, and late on tagged over two more points to open up a clear lead. Tried as the did, Ferrybank kept going to the end, but time ran out on them, and Eirns Own qualified for the final.

MINOR HURLING: Our Minor Hurlers were defeated by Tramore last Wednesday night on a scoreline of 3-10 to 1-5. This was the teams final game in this years championship, with very little at stake. Losing Cormac Heffernan after a few minutes didnt help the team, as Tramore took their chances and ran out comfortable winners on the night. We wish Cormac and John Ahern speedy recoveries, as both of them picked up injuries on the night.
