Support the Ballinrobe man picked on European team for @EtihadAirways GAA World Games

He’s Niall Murphy from the Kilmaine road, son of Ken and Ann-Marie. He played with our club for many years, as did his brother Harry. Niall now lives in Rennes, France, where he is a leading light of the local GAA club – read about the Rennes trip to Ballinrobe three years ago HERE. Now Niall has been selected on the European team for the Etihad Airways GAA World Games in UCD, starting this weekend. It is a singular honour for Niall – there are 85 clubs in Europen and Niall has been selected on the side to represent all of them. The club is trying to raise a few quid to fund the trip to Dublin. You can contribute HERE. Allez le Niall!
