Robe Rocket Emma will be the official Mayo flag bearer on Sunday

By Liam Horan,Webmaster Donal Vaughan will have a seven year-old neighbour alongside him when he runs onto Croke Park on Sunday. Robe Rocket Emma O’Shea is the winner of the eircom competition to be the Mayo flag-bearer on the field before the big game. Best of luck to Emma – we hope she has a great day. And in the highly unlikely event that you don’t know what a Robe Rocket is, go HERE Emma is a keen Ballinrobe and Mayo supporter. In fact, as this Facebook link HERE shows, she recently hid her love for the green and red on top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Like Donal Vaughan, she lives on Abbey Street, Ballinrobe, so the two of them might be able to chat about happenings on the street of late. Were you at the Panti Bliss show? What do you make of the free 30 minutes parking?

U21 game postponed as a mark of respect to the late Darragh Doherty

Our Mayo U21 C football championship game against Tourmakeady, scheduled for Tourmakeady tomorrow evening (Wednesday), has been postponed as a mark of respect to the late Darragh Doherty, Kilmaine. Darragh, a member of the Mayo team that won the 2013 All-Ireland minor title, was a close friend of a number of our players. Funeral ceremonies take place in Kilmaine over the next two days, as outlined HERE The U21 refixture will be announced in the coming days.

The late Darragh Doherty, Kilmaine

Ballinrobe GAA Club extends its deepest sympathies to the family of Darragh Doherty, Ballyhenry, Kilmaine, the former All-Ireland winning minor footballer, who was tragically killed in a car accident between Kilmaine and Ballinrobe last night (Sunday). Darragh (19) was among the attendance at Saturday evening’s South Mayo Junior B final between his club Kilmaine and Shrule-Glencorrib in Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe. He was his usual jovial and friendly self as he mingled with spectators from both clubs and our own members. The Doherty family are hugely respected in GAA circles throughout Mayo and further afield. Darragh was a past-pupil of Ballinrobe Community School and was one of the star attackers in the Mayo team which won the 2013 All-Ireland minor football title. All of us who knew him were intensely proud of his performances, particularly in Croke Park, where his true footballing talents shone through. His death casts a deep shadow over this region. In extending our sympathy to the Doherty family, we also remember his colleagues in Kilmaine GAA Club. We are conscious that no words of ours can soften the sense of despair that hangs over Kilmaine tonight. Darragh was their hero, the man who gave them reason to walk tall out of Croke Park just two short years ago, just like another great Kilmaine minor scoring star, Michael John Mullin, did 28 years previously. The Kilmaine club statement is contained HERE. May he rest in peace.
