We got what can only be described as ‘a good twist’ in this month’s Mayo GAA Board draw. Ballinrobe Credit Union, Tony Walkin (our President) and David Flannery (the third member of the Flannery clan to win this year) all came up trumps in the draw held last night in Bangor Erris. And there was something in it for the club too – the ticket we bought earned us a cool €250 too. All welcome, of course! The full list of winners is here: Mayo GAA Club Development Draw – Draw 6 Winners
