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.

There were two very exciting games last night, we had some contentious refereeing decisions but thankfully no crowd trouble. We had a great turnout to see these young ladies put on a great exhibition of football. Well done to the two winners, commiserations to the losing teams they were two very close games. More importantly it was great to see how much these players have improved since the start of the year, a big thank you to their coaches for all their hard work. Thanks to Lakeside for hosting us again, we are very lucky to have this facility in town. Thanks also to Cummins & Sons Homevalue Ballinrobe for their sponsorship of the medals and cups.  The girls were given a sponsorship card for a chance to win a Christmas Dinner (Red & White Wine, Turkey, Ham and dessert).

  Sunday 22nd October U15 Div 2 Semifinal Result: Kilmeena 4-06 Ballinrobe 3-08. Commiserations to our U15s and their coaches who lost out narrowly by one point in a very exciting game.
