From RTE to Mayo GAA: Many thanks for your help with this, as mentioned on the phone we’re doing our new nightly 2FM show Game On live from the Promenade Suite of the Salthill Hotel in Galway next Thursday (16th).We’re going to have some Galway and Mayo legends (Names TBC) to chat about the history between the counties and look ahead to the opening game of the Connacht Championship. We’re going to have a few other bits and pieces lined up as well but the show will be mainly GAA based. We’re looking to invite a couple of fans 20/25 from each county along to add to the atmosphere on the evening. We’re going to be live on 2FM from 7pm to 8pm on the night so people are more than welcome to pop along from 6:15-6:30pm onwards If they need any details or want to make contact with us the email address for the show isgameon@rte.ie All the best, Damien

Our Michael Walsh Cup game v Knockmore, scheduled to take place tomorrow evening (Saturday) has been postponed and will be played at a later date.

Here’s the latest edition of INTO THE WEST, the magazine of the Connacht GAA Council.  

Our County Cup semi-final versus Breaffy takes place this Sunday at 12noon – but in Ballindine, and not Claremorris as previously advertised. Initially, the game was scheduled for 2.30pm, but has been changed to facilitate those attending the wedding of our former defender Paul Finnerty and his Breaffy wife-to-be Louise Conway, so it’s a real Ballinrobe-Breaffy day. Referee is John Walker. We are in the County Cup semi-final by virtue of our O’Mara Cup final win. Breaffy won the Kelly Cup in west Mayo.  

John Bradley is one of the chief organisers of a Table Quiz in aid of Special Olympics on Thursday week, May 9, in Costello’s Bar, Abbey Street, Ballinrobe. John and his quiz cohorts are great supporters of our quizzes, our weekly Lotto, and, indeed, our club teams. So we are urging  club members to turn out in large numbers to support their quiz.  

At tonight’s Executive Committee meeting, votes of congratulations were passed to Willie Culkeen, on his appointment as Principal of Ballinrobe Community School, and Maurice Horan, on his success in managing Limerick to the National Football League Division Four title. Best wishes were also extended to Paul Finnerty and Louise Conway, who get married next weekend.
