Merry Christmas to all

As the end of the year draws near Ballinrobe GAA would like to wish all our players, coaches, supporters, parents and sponsors a very Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year. During the Festive season we have some social events taking place and invite you all to come along. Our first event is on St Stephen’s Day when North Ballinrobe takes on South Ballinrobe in the battle of the Town in Flanagan Park at 12pm. Tea and sandwiches served after the match and join us after for a few sociables in Biggins Bar.  On New Year’s Eve we invite you to join us for a Club night in Flannery’s Bar and Bistro from 9.30pm to ring in 2019. Drinks, finger food, music and lots of laughs promised. Hope to see you all there. Finally many, many thanks to each and every one for all their dedication, support and commitment throughout 2018. We look forward to 2019. Nollaig Shona Duit.
