Coaches Andy Walsh and Martin Gavin. It is very heartening for our club – and other local clubs – to see the Community School capture a number of titles of late. Well done to all involved.

Old Ballinrobe hurling jersey urgently sought

We are looking for an old Ballinrobe hurling jersey urgently, if anyone can oblige. Paddy Geraghty, Carrowreagh, Hollymount, who passed away peacefully on Tuesday, was a great supporter of the now-defunct Ballinrobe hurling club and his family would dearly love to drape the jersey on his coffin. The hurling primarily wore blue and white, as I recall it. If you happened to have one, please contact Martin Murphy or Liam Horan. Paddy’s death notice is HERE The hurling club was a hugely significant part of life in Ballinrobe and surrounds back in the 1970s and 1980s and a great bond was formed among those who promoted the game in this predominantly football region. We extend deepest sympathy to his wife Margaret, daughters Geraldine and Denise, and their extended family. May he rest in peace.
