Our Intermediate Hurlers played Roanmore in a challenge game in Ferrybank this morning, and following a good game of hurling, Ferrybank ran out 1-17 to 1-12 winners. Despite missing a couple of regulars, this was a good workout for the team, with some good scores taken by the players. Early points from Cormac O' Driscoll and Sam Lawless put Ferrybank into an early lead before Roanmore replied with a point. Further points from Mark Russell (-2), John Ahern, Sam Lawless(-2) put Ferrybank -7 to -3 ahead. Roanmore missed a few frees that could have reduced the gap in the first half, and as the half drew to a close Robbie Carew, Mark Rusell, Cormac O' Driscoll added further points to leave it 0-10 to 0-5 at the break. In the second half, Ferrybank missed a few scores that should have extended the lead, and Roanmore got back into the game with a goal from a free in, which wasnt cleard by the Ferrybank defence. But Ferrybank replied with points from Phil Blake, Robbie Carew, Mark Russell to extend the lead. Ferrybnk were awarded a penelty, and Mark Russell shot was saved, but John Ahern was first to react a planted the sliothar into the net. Late points from Sam and Mark saw Ferrybank run out deserving winners. TEAM: Sean Flynn, Seamus Butcthaeil, Damien Ahern, Dean Phelan, Shane Sullivan, Gary Coady, Tommy Carew, Phil Blake (-1), Luke Flynn, Sam Lawless (-4), Mark Russell (-6), Robbie Carew (-3), Cormac O' Driscoll(-2), Chris Hoban, John Ahern (1-1), James Murphy, Greg Murphy.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL: Our Junior Footballers were defeated by Mt Sion in the John J Murphy sponsored competition on a scoreline of 4-11 to 1-5. Missing a number of regular players didnt help Ferrybank's cause prior to the start of the game, but to be fair they made a bright opening, and John Ahern scored a good goal to put Ferrybank 1-3 to 0-2 ahead. But just before half time Mt Sion scored a goal to put them two points clear at the break. In the second half, Mt Sion scored a second goal, and took control of the match. Two further late goals sealed the win. With two games remaining in the competition, Ferrybank next game is away to Fenor on Friday night July 12th at 7:30pm where a win would gaurantee them a place in the quater finals.
