Healthy Club – January 2018
By Declan O’Loughlin January 2018 will see Ballinrobe GAA club launch its first healthy club project. As part of this project we aim to get us all a little more active in 2018. This will run in conjunction with the very popular RTE program Operation Transformation, and will start on the Saturday 13th January with a walk. We will be holding two walks per week after that for five weeks. Walking is a fantastic way to keep active and maintain a healthy heart as it is fun, flexible and free. We will also be holding some talks on a range of health topics from – benefits of exercise, nutrition, quitting smoking and stress management.These talks and walks are open to all members of the Ballinrobe community and we will be publishing more details nearer the start date.

U21 success
By Billy Horan, Club PRO An improved Ballinrobe performance fashioned a 3-12 to 2-11 victory over Ballintubber in the second round of the Mayo U21 B football championship, at Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe, on Sunday morning. Wasteful Ballintubber made poor use of scoring opportunities in the first half and a late surge, highlighted by goals from Peter Butler and Joe Burke, left the locals clear by 3-7 to 1-4. Ballinrobe’s defensive mettle was strenuously challenged in the second half, and though the margin was reduced, mainly through the exploits of Hugh Geraghty, James Finnerty, Ciaran Gavin and Darragh McGovern, Ballinrobe still had their heads in front at the finish. Ballinrobe: Evan O’Brien 0-6, Joseph Burke 1-2, Peter Butler 1-1, Peter Walsh 1-0, Kevin Quinn 0-2, John Enda Flannelly 0-1. Ballintubber: Hugh Geraghty 2-1, Louis Hoban, James Finnerty, Ciaran Gavin 0-2 each, Darragh McGovern, John Kerrigan, Keelan McDonnell and Paddy Burke 0-1 each.
