Girls football – change of arrangements

There is a change of arrangements for our girls footballers this weekend. The U8 girls play The Neale girls at 9.30am on Saturday in Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe. All players are asked to be at the pitch at 9.10am. The U10s and U12s will therefore have their weekly Academy at 10.30am, instead of the usual 9.30am. If you are not getting texts about girls games, please email secretary.ballinrobe.mayo with your name, the child’s name, and your mobile number.

Croker trip was a big success

Last night’s meeting of Ballinrobe GAA club Executive Committee heard that the recent trip to Croke Park by our U14 team was a success. The team attended the All-Ireland quarter-final triple-header, and they had the joy of first seeing Mayo defeat Armagh in the minor clash, followed by the seniors victory over Cork. Club chairman Alan Flannery thanked Tom Carney and John Burke for organising the trip. In return, Tom thanked the club for the donation towards the costs.

Boys and girls – the Academy is back tomorrow

Our Academy for boys and girls resumes after the summer sojourn tomorrow morning (Saturday, August 16th) at 9.30 in Flanagan Park. Early to bed tonight – and that’s just the coaches. All children up to the age of 12 are welcome to attend. It’s a nice social morning up there too with a large number of parents/guardians opting to help out with the event. So, parents/guardians, feel free to wait for the hour – we will give you something to do and you will hopefully find it a fun way to pass a morning.

Today is Debut Day for our U8 and U10 girls footballers

On Wednesday evening next, August 13th, we have two girls-only games at U8 and U10 levels, versus Shrule-Glencorrib, in Glencorrib at 7pm (note time is changed from 6pm). Meet in Glencorrib pitch at 6.45pm. If you have transport issues, contact Declan O’Loughlin on 087 206 3863. If you haven’t received a text about this match, and feel you should, can you email your name, the child’s name and date of birth, and your own mobile number to secretary.ballinrobe.mayo@gaa.ie This game is being played under the auspices of our club, rather than ladies football, as neither club is affiliated to the ladies football organisation. However, our aspiration is to become a fully-fledged ladies club next year. Please make a special effort to be there as it will be the first time we field girls-only teams for perhaps ten years. Special thanks to Mary Langan for organising the game. It’s a Debut Day for a lot of young players in our club so it’s important to make it memorable for them: we are making a big effort to get parents/guardians along. Bring your cameras. We will be contacting parents/guardians with final arrangements in next couple of days. Here’s how we have done Debut Days in the past. And video of our Saturday morning Academy here:
