The club is delighted and proud to this year host the inaugural Séamie Murphy Memorial Tournament, which will take place on Sunday September 5, starting at 10.30 a.m.
This is an Under-11 hurling blitz tournament which will feature eight clubs - six from County Wexford, along with visitors from Kilkenny and Dublin. Each club will have two teams, meaning there will be a total of 16 teams taking part in the tournament, in four groups of four. Overall, we expect almost 250 young players to be lining out!

In conclusion
We're looking forward to a great day to honour the memory of a great man, who gave such dedicated service to underage GAA in Ferns for many years and who is still fondly remembered and sadly missed by so many.
We hope to welcome a large crowd to the grounds for what we're sure will be a highly memorable and enjoyable occasion, and we look forward to seeing you there.
And finally...best of luck to all teams taking part!
