School Boys/Girls and Junior League Football in South Kilkenny
This group can count themselves very unlucky to have not got a draw at the very least. A slow start saw them 2 down at the break bug they hit the post and also went close on a couple of occasions too. Second half saw them roar out and hit crossbar twice and post again before pulling a goal back through Liam McDonnell. Try as they might they couldn’t get an equaliser and Bohs got a deflected 3rd goal to sneak it. Disappointed group afterwards but lots learned by all on duty.
Scorching conditions in glorious Ferrybank for a 12.30 kick off. Ferrybank dominated the first half but the boys were well in the game with Ted McLoughlin finishing well to equalise in the first half. Second half saw a couple of sloppy goals given away but back roared the boys with Shane Mackey and Billy Fielding notching. Ferrybank knocked in their 5th to secure all three points. This young side will no doubt improve as the season will progress in the top division.

At last we have had a dry spell of weather to get our dugouts dropped in place. Massive thank you to Peter Brennan of Ashgrove Transport for moving the dugouts today👏, thanks to Watmór for providing the base layer for housing the dugouts, thanks to Eric Walsh for holding the spirit level too and finally a massive thank you to the company who sponsored these dugouts, again……An incredible gesture 👏.
The very best of luck to one of our former players, Ethan Owens, who has signed with Waterford FC and is sure to have a big future in the game. From a young age in the academy, Ethan was destined for big things due to his hard work on the training ground and working hard out in his back garden in all kinds of weather since a young age. Ethan follows in the footsteps of Daniel Ponce de Leon, who is having a really good debut season for the young Blues ⚽⚽⚽⚽
Very disappointing display from the lads this morning with Villa deservedly taking the three points. Some very poor mistakes were to prove costly with Villa 4 up at the break. They knocked in number 5 just after half time with another defensive error proving costly. We pulled a goal back through Kieran Fagan but a bad day all round.
Work has started on preparation for surfacing of the roadway up to the ground in Suir Crescent and will be completed next week all going well.
