UNDER 11 FOOTBALL:
Our Under 11 Footballers played their final game of the season away to John Mitchells on Friday
last. The team played some nice Football in the opening half, which
yielded some excellent scores and Ferrybank led by 2-04 to 1-02 at
half-time. John Mitchells came more into it in the second-half and
Ferrybank had to battle hard to maintain their lead, but credit to the
lads, as they weathered the storm and put over some fine scores to
settle matters, running out 3-08 to 2-04 winners. With the season now
over, there will be no more training. The management team would like to
thank all the parents for their help and support throughout the campaign
and we will see all back in 2014.
UNDER 21 HURLING:
Our Under 21
Hurlers warmed up for their Championship match against Clonea when they
made the trip to Gracedieu to play Roanmore in a challenge game last
Saturday. Aided by the breeze in the first-half, Ferrybank hit over some
good points from John Ahern, Cormac Heffernan, Mark O' Brien, Sam
Lawless, Seamus Burtchaell and Robbie Carew ensuring the team lead by 4
points at half-time. Roanmore came into it a lot more in the
second-half, scoring an early goal and scoring some good points to
reduce the gap. But Ferrybank kept battling away and Jeff Lawless scored
a goal to keep some daylight between the sides. Roanmore levelled it up
as the game entering its closing moments, but Ferrybank dug deep and
late scores from John Ahern and Mark O’ Brien ensured a good win on a
score line of 1-19 to 2-14. No doubt the selectors will have been
pleased with the performance of the team, as they now turn their
attention to next Saturday Oct 19th at 3pm here in Ferrybank, where they play Clonea in the Eastern ‘A Championship. Please come along and support the team.
MINOR CAMOGIE:
The Ferrybank Minor
Camogie team qualified for the Waterford County 'B final by virtue of a
4-03 to 1-05 win over An Rinn/Dungarvan on Sunday
morning last in Ferrybank. In a hard fought tussle, the Ferrybank girls
got the breaks when they needed them most. In a tight first-half, it
was the visitors who looked the more impressive, but a Niamh Ahearne
goal had a point up at half-time. As the second-half wore on, Ferrybank
began to get stronger with goals from Niamh Ahearne (2) and Aislinn O'
Keeffe clinched a great win. They now go on and meet De La Salle in the
final.
UNDER 16 FOOTBALL:
Our Under 16
Football match against St. Marys which was scheduled to take place last
Sunday morning was postponed due to a bereavement and will be replayed
