gREEN FiNgERED FERRybaNk REsiDENTs CREaTE aWaRD WiNNiNg CoMMuNiTy alloTMENTAlthough set up only four short years ago, the Ferrybank Allotment Project has been achieving great results. If you visit our local Kilkenny County Library you will see the ‘IPB Pride Of Place 2012’ award information proudly displayed. Originally, Kieran Walsh of the Ferrybank Development Group approached the Brothers of Charity in Ferry-bank and following their enthusiastic support the project was started. At the moment there are 40 plots in all. The size of each plot is approximately 110 sq metres. The Ferrybank Allotment Project is community based and there is a strong emphasis on social inclusion. Paul Malone (Chairman) said that in addition to locally born Ferrybank residents there are plot owners from Poland, The Republic of Congo and many other countries. Some of the plots are used by the Brothers of Charity for training. If you visit on a Tuesday morning you will witness a fantastic community spirit up there. Everybody is helping out. Paul also told me that they were now experimenting with a combination of nettles and water in order to make their own ‘natural’ fertilizer. The morning I visited, the sod was just being turned on a new exciting Community Sensory Garden. More on that later! It really sounds like a fantastic project. There is a waiting list for plots at the moment and if you are interested in getting your own plot, the best thing to do is to contact Paul as soon as you can. You can reach Paul Malone on 087 260 3029

ClovER TouRNaMENT The 21st Annual Clover tournament took place in glorious sunshine as 20 teams from all over Waterford battled it out for the coveted trophy. Once again the standard of play was top class from the young footballers of Waterford. Ferrybank entered 4 teams all of whom performed magnificently on the day. After the early games it was Southend, Carrick, Piltown and Ferrybank who progressed to the semi-finals. Southend took care of Carrick and Ferrybank were victorious over Piltown to set an eagerly awaited final between two strong footballing sides. In a classic final the Ferrybank boys raced into a 3-0 lead only for Southend to storm back with 2 goals but Ferrybank held out for a deserved victory and our 3rd Clover Tournament title in a row.
giRlsThe girls have also been busy in May with all the teams in action. The U 14 girls won the cup in style at the RSC defeating Cappoquin in the final. The Perennial Freight cup took place at the club grounds in which Ferrybank were victorious.
May was a busy month in the club with all the leagues coming to an end and the cup competitions in full swing. As we write we have secured a number of titles and are in the final stages of a few more. The 21st Annual Clover Tournament and the Girls Perennial Freight Cup place on the 25th & 26th May. Our Under 11 squad travelled to Killarney for a weekend to take part in a very successful tournament. We also had a worthwhile visit from Celtic FC Head Academy Coach Willie McNab who put on a coaching clinic for our coaches and this relationship with Celtic FC will develop over the near future with further events planned. Our Premier team retained premier status and they & the Youth team also reached cup semi-finals and finals respectfully. So overall there was plenty of action in May.
