Having been denied by a late goal seven days previously, Ferrybank claimed the Eastern Junior Football title after a narrow win over Kilmacthomas.
Undaunted by their underdog tag, Ferrybank opened the scoring through a well taken point from Eoin O’Neill.
County minor star Stephen Lynn equalised for Kilmacthomas after being placed by David Power and the mid-county side took the lead when Anthony Power converted a free.
Lynn’s team mate on the county minor team, Greg Murphy then equalised for Ferrybank after a good run by John Treacy.
The star man for Ferrybank in the drawn game was full-forward Colm O’Neill and he grabbed two points in as many minutes as Ferrybank began to put some daylight between themselves and their rivals.
With a quarter of the game gone, Ferrybank led by 0-4 to 0-2. This lead was soon extended as Colm O’Neill took a short free to his name sake Eoin who knocked over a fine point with his left foot.
Centre-forward John Treacy then split the posts from an impossible angle as Ferrybank threatened to run riot.
Kilmacthomas then fell into the habit of wasting valuable opportunities. Anthony Power took a short free to an under pressure Stephen Lynn who was blocked down and another free from Eoin Walsh dropped short and was cleared.
