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.

U6 First outdoor training session 2016

By Annette Conway, PRO Robe Rockets A big welcome to our U6’s, the Clubs youngest members who had their first outdoor training session in Flanagan Park this morning. The threat of rain did not dampen the enthusiasm of the boys and girls and they spend the next hour under the supervision of Dónal, the two Sean’s and Micheál who put them through their paces. Over the last 12 weeks the Coaches and children have been developing their skills indoors in the Lakeside on Saturday mornings. Today was the first opportunity for most of the children to train in Flanagan Park. Thanks again to all parents who cooperated with the drop off and collection of children outside the dressing rooms this morning. See you all again next week. New players are always welcome to join.
