OPERATION TRANSFORMATION
- Posted on January 23
The 'Operation Transformation' turn-out was again in the region of 80 people this week, and remember, it's still not too late to join if you haven't done so already.
Just come along to the 'weigh station' at Aldercourt (just up from Ferns Pharmacy) on Thursday night around 7.30 p.m. to 8 p.m., to meet many others who are taking part and to start making a difference to yourself too for 2015.
Meanwhile, competition is really hotting up between our different 'Transformationer' teams: Ballyduff, Clologue, Tombrack, Camogie, Ferns Northsiders, Ferns Southsiders, and Ferns D4. Points are earned in various ways to do with exercise, diet, and weight loss, and the overall winners will be announced when the whole thing comes to a close on Friday March 6.

putting the lads through their paces
- Posted on January 21
Our new fitness and training coach Ross Dunphy (pictured) has taken charge of a couple of sessions at this stage, and we hear it's fairly strenuous stuff...to say the least!
No less than that was expected though when Ross agreed to take up the job, and hopefully all the hard working being put in now will pay off handsomely as the year progresses.
Ross comes to Ferns following a stint as a key member of Anthony Daly's managerial team with the Dublin senior side, which itself followed an involvement with the Tipperary team. We welcome him to the club and look forward to seeing our sides benefit from his expertise.

Lotto jackpot is still growing

The jackpot in the club lotto draw continues to rise, after nobody matched the numbers 1, 3, 13 and 24 in last night's draw.

Lucky Dip winners this week were Ciara O'Sullivan, Noel Kinsella, Bab Davitt, and Ellen Briody. They receive €40 each.

championship draws 2015
- Posted on January 13
The draws for this year's County Wexford Championships were made at the County Board meeting last night, and we've been handed a tough one in senior hurling in particular.
Opponents in Group B include Shelmaliers (our conquerors last year, who of course went on to win the county final) and the champions of the previous five years, Oulart/The Ballagh, who are sure to still have a big part to play in deciding the destiny of the title this year.
Faythe Harriers, the newly-promoted Shamrocks, and local rivals Buffers Alley make up the group.
In Junior Hurling, new manager Mylie Cash has to prepare for clashes against Horeswood, Gusserane, St Mary's (Rosslare), Tara Rocks and Bannow/Ballymitty.
In Intermediate Football, Ferns have been drawn against Ballyhogue, Glynn/Barntown, Craanford, HWH-Bunclody, and Taghmon.
Last year saw the football championship start in late April and the hurling commence in mid-May, and something similar is expected this year too.
