ROANMORE BLITZ: Ferrybank under 8 hurlers took part in the annual Roanmore Blitz on Saturday morning. TEAM: Jake Butler, Sean Heffernan, Ruaidhri McGarrity, Jamie Sutton, Kyle O' Brien, Izaak Richards, Eddie Daly, Ross burke-Derham, James Tyler, Ciaran Clark, Shane Oates, Samuel Lesack. Ferrybank played three hurling games against fierce opponents. Ferrybank soared ahead in the first game, but conceeded some goals, but as the game wore on, we settled into it and maintained our lead. In the 2nd game, Ferrybank didnt conceed any scores against Liam Mellows, and better still took our scores when it mattered. The final game against Dunhill proved a more daunting task, but the lads fought to the end. This was a great day for the under 8 team. The lads collected their medals with pride yesterday, heads held high, shoulders back, and on top of the world. Well done lads, and dont forget the majority of you, will be under age again for next season, so keep up the practice. Ferrybank can be proud of you.

Without a doubt these were the best two performances from Ferrybank have played to date. The under 7's stormed ahead, and never looked back. The under 5 match was a much tougher affair, but the sheer determination of Ferrybank paid of in the end. The sizeable crowd that gathered to watch these games today were delighted with this exceptional feast of hurling. Special thanks to all Parents and Relatives who got the the kids ready, and to the venue on time. The support was incredible, and the kids felt like superstars. We could not do this without their support. Thanks to Passage East who were excellent opponents, and to the teams for a great days entertainment. It was fantastic to see the support for the kids, and we look forward to visiting Passage for the return leg. We would welcome any assistance from Parents to help out with the kids. It would be greatly appreciated. For further information please contact John Burns 087-8717039, Brian Richards 086-3589859, Connor McGarrity 087-9087745.
