Saturday, July 4th, 2015 – so what does go on at our Robe Rockets Academy every Saturday morning? Dave Conway, secretary of Robe Rockets, and one of its main coaches, gives this overview while he stands beside a portable goal – waiting for me to go away again so he can move the goal to where it should be. [audio:http://ballinrobegaaclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/daire.mp3] There’s a flurry of activity as parents arrive with their children. One of the great features of Robe Rockets is parental involvement. Many parents wait and lend a hand and some have gone on to attend coaching courses and workshops. As the parents are the first educators of the children, and the biggest influence on their lives, the deep involvement of parents in their football can only be a good thing. But what do the players think? John Gleeson is a veteran – at seven years of age. Here he explains why he comes along every Wednesday and Saturday. [audio:http://ballinrobegaaclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/john-gleeson.mp3] The coaching is in full swing now. The atmosphere is supportive and positive. “Good, Rory, well done”, shouts Colm Jennings, the head buck cat at U6 level. Marie O’Haire celebrates every shot on target at the town goal. [audio:http://ballinrobegaaclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/fizzy.mp3] But where have all the girls gone? They’re not here in their usual numbers this morning. Declan O’Louglin gives the reason why they’re strangely absent. [audio:http://ballinrobegaaclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/declan.mp3] And an hour later, it’s over. All to be repeated next Wednesday and next Saturday, over and over again, fun times for children and adults, memories being created, friendships being formed, skills being developed, a culture built hour by hour, a relationship with the club and the game that will hopefully go deeper and deeper in the weeks, months and years ahead. Go Rockets. Out-take: not sure how I created this photo, but, fair is fair, it’s right cool…

The Senior team will host Ballyhaunis this Sunday, in a very important league game, throwing in at 12pm. Hopefully the lads can bounce back from the defeat to Aghamore and find the same form that put Crossmolina to the sword. Please come along and support the lads.

Our attacker Kevin Quinn has been named as a substitute on the Mayo minor team for today’s Connacht minor football championship clash with Galway in McHale Park, Castlebar, at 6.30pm. We wish Kevin all the best, and hopefully he will make an appearance at some stage during the encounter. He follows in the footsteps of his brother James, who played for Mayo minors in Croke Park a few years ago, including the day Mayo defeated the then All-Ireland champions Tipperary. Kevin is a nephew of current Mayo joint manager Noel Connelly, who captained Mayo in the 1996 and 1997 All-Ireland football finals. He also captained Mayo to win the 2001 National League title, just reward for a man who was one of the leaders of a fine Mayo team for the preceding five years.
Good luck to Kevin Quinn and Mayo minors Read More »
