U10/U12 Ladies Pella starting this Wednesday

U10/U12 Ladies Pella is starting this Wednesday July 4th in Lakeside Sport & Fitness Club, Station Road, Ballinrobe. Pella is an indoor version of Gaelic Football which can be played as a five a side game, in an indoor arena or on an all weather pitch.  It allows us to develop our skills indoors during the Winter and the game has many similar rules to the outside game with some extra rules ( as shown below ) to facilitate this indoor sport. Having seen the boys playing last Friday evening in the Gym I can guarantee you will enjoy it as both a player and a spectator.  The games themselves are 10minutes aside( timetable shown below) and for those 10minutes the ball travels up and down the court very fast. PLEASE NOTE: All Players MUST wear Gum Shields.  Players would be advised to bring a drink with them on the night. Players should arrive 10 minutes before their scheduled game as shown in timetable below. Matches will be 10 minutes aside with a half time break.  Allowing for delays, players should be available for collection  30 minutes after kick-off time. €8 to be paid on Wednesday.

Note: game has been changed to 11.30am. Tune in HERE (archive will be there too afterwards – go to Tracks, where you will also be able to listen to previous games we have broadcast). Note date change below + note that Tom Carney is stepping into the commentary hot seat for the first time due to the unavoidable absence of Liam Horan. P Cos will be there to keep a close eye on Tom and to keep him in the luxury to which Liam Horan has become accustomed. Our final Mayo SFL Division 1B league game is against Burrishoole on Sunday, November 1, at 11.30am, at Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe. This will be our final game of the season as we continue our battle to avoid relegation. We are appealing to all our supporters to come along and cheer on the team. We had a good win against Shrule-Glencorrib on Saturday night. If you can’t make it, we will be streaming this game live, led by Tom Carney (commentator), Padraig Costello Snr (Ballinrobe analyst) and hopefully a Burrishoole analyst. Coverage starts at 11.20am. Tune in HERE (archive will be there too afterwards – go to Tracks, where you will also be able to listen to previous games we have broadcast). Keep your wits about you because it may be necessary to create a new link under Tracks. This is because we are still trialling the free account which has some time limitations. Tweet @ballinrobegaa or pop a message herehttps://www.facebook.com/BallinrobeGAAFanPage with details of where you plan to listen to the game. And keep in touch during the game too, audience interaction is a big part of this.

Final U10 game of the season – and a little gift

Our lads played their final game of game of the season last Friday 9th October against Ballintubber. It was a lovely evening with some fantastic football on show by both teams. We had 30 players line out for Ballinrobe which was our highest number this year. Well done to our mentors and players, the improvement in skill levels has been superb! As a reward for all their hard work during the year, Eamon Marrey of Marrey Bikes sponsored each player a water bottle to mark the occasion.
