Anna O’Loughlin is popular winner of €602

Anna O’Loughlin, a Co. Clare native who has been an unwavering supporter of Ballinrobe GAA club since moving to the town, was last night’s popular winner of the 50:50 jackpot promoted by the club. Anna receives €602 – it might help to offset the thousands she has spent travelling the highway and byways of Ireland following Ballinrobe football and, indeed, hurling teams. The third generation of O’Loughlins is now active in the club – and Anna’s son Declan is one of the driving forces behind under-age boys and girls in the club. The club’s tribute to Christy, Anna’s husband, is published HERE The family donated the Christy O’Loughlin Memorial Cup to the club last year – see HERE. The picture at the top of this page is of the Corofin U10 team after receiving the Christy O’Loughlin Cup.

Club will form guard of honour for removal of remains of the late Joe Kennedy

  Mr Joe Kennedy, Rahard, Ballinrobe, who passed away last night (Thursday, December 17) was a keen follower of Gaelic games. His son Patrick played with the club for many years, and continues to be an extremely loyal and active member, most notably in a coaching capacity at various levels, including senior. Earlier this year, Patrick was one of the driving forces behind the team that captured the South Mayo U14 B title, a significant victory for club. He played on the club team that won the 1990 Mayo junior football championship. In his professional capacity, he coaches Gaelic football to boys and girls in the primary schools of this region. Joe followed the fortunes of Ballinrobe and Mayo closely, and was a well-known and popular figure in the locality. Funeral arrangements HERE. As a mark of respect, the club will form a guard of honour at the removal on Saturday evening. Members are asked to assemble at 6.20pm at O’Malley’s Funeral Home, wearing club gear. The club extends sympathy to the Kennedy family on their sad loss. May he rest in peace.
