Busy weekend in town – well done to festival committee

Phew! Time to catch some breath after a hectic weekend in Ballinrobe. Well done to the Queen of the Lakes festival committee who put together a busy and entertaining programme of events – they even managed to organise it that the €6m National Lottery jackpot would be won in Ballinrobe during the festival. In the GAA club, we were delighted to play our part by staging the Christy O’Loughlin Memorial Cup for the first time. A full report is available elsewhere on this site. Hopefully the festival will continue to be an annual event from now on – though we do not for one minute underestimate the amount of work the committee had to put in to make it all possible. We are particularly grateful to organiser Monica Horan for the support she offered us as we staged our under 12 tournament on Saturday.

    By Billy Horan, Club PRO Corofin defeated Ballintubber in the final of the under 12 football tournament, held in Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe, on Saturday, in conjunction with the Queen of the Lakes festival. Declan O’Loughlin presented the winners with the Christy O’Loughlin Memorial Cup and Stephen Rochford, the Corofin senior football manager who lives in Ballinrobe and is a member of the local club, presented the medals. Clare native Christy O’Loughlin, who died in 2012, had a lengthy and active association with Ballinrobe GAA club. Ballinrobe and Parke-Keelogues-Crimlin also competed in the tournament and The Andy Merrigan Cup, won by Corofin, All-Ireland senior club champions earlier this year, was on display. Ballinrobe Bord na nOg is very appreciative of the support received from Monica Horan and the parents who looked after the catering arrangements on the day. Pictures: https://goo.gl/rp946W

Seniors reach Friends of Darragh 7s final

By Billy Horan, Club PRO Caherlistrane were the inaugural winners of the Friends of Darragh senior sevens tournament held in Cong on Saturday, defeating Ballinrobe in the final by 1-10 to 0-7. Our team played superbly throughout the day despite being relative novices in the highly-specialised sevens game. The event, which was widely supported, was organised by The Neale GAA club in conjunction with the family of the late Darragh Walsh, and the money raised will be devoted to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust.
