U12: Grading League Group 3 Match 1

  By Ann Cannon, PRO, Ladies Football On Monday, 28th April, at Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe, our U12 Ladies played their first League game. It was a wonderful achievement by the club, its coaches, parents and the girls themselves to see Ballinrobe back participating in a Ladies League again.  We had 21 players tog out for the match. The girls played with great skill and determination and even if the result didn’t go our way, each and every player can be proud of their contribution. This Friday, 1st April, sees match two, away to Carnacon.  Meeting at Flanagan Park at 5:10pm.

By Annette Conway, PRO Robe Rockets Well done to our Robe Rockets, Ladies teams and Parents who represented Ballinrobe GAA Club in the St Patrick’s Day parade. A sea of maroon and yellow congregated at Crann Mor Centre not long after 3pm, accompanied by a full size Rocket and with players accessorized with club coloured tassels and the all important whistles the scene was set for a fun and noisy afternoon!! A most enjoyable afternoon was had by all and the parade provided an opportunity to highlight the success of our Robe Rocket section of the Club.

By Annette Conway, PRO Robe Rockets Congratulations to all our U10 boys who participated in the Pella league Finals which concluded last Friday night. A large attendance was present in the Lakeside to watch the Finals. Congratulations to Team B, Team C and Team E who won their respective finals. The winning Teams received footballs and all players received an Easter egg to acknowledge their effort and hard work throughout the league. The Pella league fulfills one of the key planks of our coaching plan, namely to play football virtually all year round. Over the last 6 weeks skills improved, new friendships formed, confidence grew and most importantly plenty fun was had by all. Thank you to everyone for their cooperation during the league and all those who helped out in anyway. Training returns outdoors Friday 25th March at 7pm in Flanagan Park.
