Start Collecting for Topaz “Cash for Clubs 2017”

Ballinrobe GAA is now registered for the Topaz Cash for Clubs 2017 and we are asking all Members of the Club, Parents, Players and Coaches to start collecting the Topaz “Cash for Clubs” tokens for us. We were very lucky to win €5000 last year and are looking to build on our success and raise much needed Cash for our Club. The programme offers clubs of all types and sizes from across the island of Ireland the chance to win up to €10,000. The first club drawn will win the top prize of €10,000, while 10 clubs thereafter will win €5,000, and a further 140 will collect €1,000. Check out our winners video from last year below. How it works: We are encouraging all Members of the Club, Parents, Players and Coaches to go that extra mile for our club by collecting ‘Cash for Clubs’ tokens or using a Play or Park game tag which are available in- store or through the Topaz Play or Park app. You’ll receive one token once you spend €30 or more on fuel purchases and once you have linked your game tag to the club; BALLINROBE GAA #2831- MAYO your tokens will be automatically allocated to us. Once a club has collected 2,000 tokens, they will be automatically entered into an ‘everyone-wins’ draw. Cards will be available next week at all training sessions.  See link below https://www.playorpark.ie/cash-for-clubs/how-to-play#

Ladies U10s match vs Kilmaine

By Declan O’Louglin Our U10 ladies played their first game in Flanagan Park in 2017. On a beautiful May evening we had 22 players line out and we fielded two teams. Both our teams played really well, as with all games in this age group we are much more concerned about developing skills and playing football than who wins or looses. With this group are really seeing the results of all their hard work and practice since they started their Pella league in February. Well done girls and keep practicing!! Thanks to Kilmaine for making the trip in and hopefully their players enjoyed the games as well. Many thanks to the parents for getting the girls to training and matches. Thanks to Jarlath O’Connor and Andy Walsh for refereeing the two games.

AUDIO: @MayoGAA SFC match report v @NaStiofanaigh by Junior Reporter Matthew McCormack (9)

Matthew McCormack, Cloongowla, a member of our club’s U10 boys team, was our Junior Reporter for today’s Treanlaur Catering Mayo SFC clash with Ballina Stephenites at Flanagan Park. [audio:http://ballinrobegaaclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Matthew2-report-ballina.mp3] He helped Tom Carney and his commentary team of Tom Maughan (Ballina Stephenites) and Liam Horan (Ballinrobe) with some stats and even gave his view at half-time. Somewhat presciently, he predicted a Ballina Stephenites comeback at that stage – and his prophecy proved all too accurate, alas as they rallied to beat us by two points in a closely-contested encounter. Matthew is interested in sports journalism and as you will discover when you listen to his match report here, he’s a dab hand at it. The young members of the club had a big part to play today – Eva Gallagher, also 9, and a member of the club’s U10 ladies football team, delivered a beautiful rendition of the national anthem. Matthew and Eva both showed big day temperament today. Well done to the two of them. You can listen to Tom Carney’s full commentary on the game HERE
