UNDER 15 HURLING: Our under 15 hurlers were defeated in the semi final of Eastern championship by Sacred Heart in Dunhill tonight on a scoreline of 5-14 to 2-5. The lads werent at their best tonight, but take nothing away from Sacred Heart as they were far sharper and took their scores where it mattered. Ferrybank got of to an excellent start after two minutes where John Ahern scored a fine goal from a super Robbie Carew pass. However the lead was short lived when hesitation in the Ferrybank defence let Sacred Heart score a soft goal. After 8 minutes Ferrybank got their second goal when Robbie Carew shot went all the way into the Sacred Heart net to restore their lead. Ferrybank had to re-jig their defence when MJ Sutton had to retire with injury, and from then on until half time, Sacred Heart took over with a scoring blitz by hitting over six unanswered points in the space of seven minutes to shoot into a three point lead, and then two quick goals to double the lead. Two points from Robbie Carew helped to stem the tide, but on the stroke of half time a fourth Sacred Heart goal to leave them in full control at 4-7 to 2-2. In the second half, Ferrybank certainley gave it their all, and were unlucky not to get another couple of goals. John Ahern struck over a fine point, and Alex Kinsella hit two fine scores. Sacred Heart scored a fifth goal midway through the second half to seal the win, as the full time whistle blew. No doubt this is a very good young Ferrybank side, and they will have learnt a lot from tonights game, and no doubt they will come back stronger for next season. Maybe it was the long wait for this game to be played that might have had an effect on their performance tonight, and the selectors couldnt have asked for anymore during the campagin. Thanks to all who came along and supported the team on the night.
