Ballinrobe is strongly represented in the Mayo set-up that will go toe-to-toe with Dublin in the All-Ireland senior football final on Sunday week – we have four club members involved. Donal Vaughan is, once again, a member of the Mayo team, just as he has been consistently for the past number of years. Donal plays his club football with Ballinrobe, and is a successful local businessperson – Vaughan Shoes are also long-time supporters and sponsors of Ballinrobe GAA club. Stephen Rochford, the manager, is a native of Crossmolina, but he is living and married in Ballinrobe. Stephen first came to Ballinrobe to work in the local AIB Bank branch, and met and married local woman Laura Gill – she of singing and acting renown with Ballinrobe Musical Society and Ballinrobe Folk Choir. They have two children – Dara and the recent arrival Rory. Stephen was previously joint manager of the club team that won a Mayo U21 B title – as far as I can recall, Donal Vaughan was on that team too, n’est pas? Liam Horan, a former club secretary and our current vice-chairperson, is the media co-ordinator for the Mayo team. His brother Maurice, who starred with Ballinrobe for many years, and managed Limerick footballers for three years, is head of the video analysis & stats team. Maurice lives in Tralee, Co. Kerry. Their father Billy is our veteran club PRO, of course. We wish all four – and the entire Mayo operation – every success on September 18.
Good luck to The Ballinrobe Four – Donal, Stephen, Liam and Maurice Read More »

By Annette Conway, PRO Robe Rockets Well done to our youngest Robe Rockets, U6 boys and girls who played their first match in Club colours. Our U8’s lined out to cheer and clap our U6’s onto the pitch as they made their debut entrance. Alongside the U6’s match, our U8’s played Kiltimagh U8’s. There was over 65 Ballinrobe children playing in parallel in the Lough, demonstrating all the skills learnt at training to the players who played so well and thankfully the rain held off. As a special momentum, each U6 debutant received a medal to mark their debut match. Future Mayo GAA Senior Winners 2032!!!! Thanks to the Kiltimagh U6 and U8’s teams, Coaches and their families who made the journey. A special word of thanks as always to all who organised the day, U6 and U8 Coaches, Referees, Parents, all who helped with refreshments and worked really hard to have everything in place for our Robe Rockets.
