COUNTY CHAMPIONS
Congratulations to all the Ferbane U-12 ladies who were victorious in their County Final against Tullamore last Saturday in Tubber. On a scorching hot day Ferbane defended stoutly in the first half as Tullamore, aided by a stiff breeze, dominated possession but crucially their superiority was never seen on the scoreboard. Delighted to lead by 3 points to 2 at half-time the Ferbane girls completely outplayed their taller opponents in the second-half emerging victorious on a 1-7 to 0-3 score-line. Well done to Nicola, Martha and Tom and all of the girls who, under the captaincy of Emer Flynn, thoroughly deserved their victory. Special mention to Ella McEvoy and Emma Maher, who were forced to miss the final through injury.
