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.

By Billy Horan, Club PRO The weekly Monday night Lotto draw has been Ballinrobe GAA Club’s primary source of revenue for the past 23 years. Treasurers invariably acknowledged their indebtedness in annual reports and further club improvements could be contemplated. The current economic reality, however, has blunted the impact of the Lotto as a fund-raising medium and the 50:50 draw has become the more inviting financial source. Ballinrobe GAA Club bowed to the inevitable, holding its final Lotto draw in Inch’s Bar on Main Street on Monday night, January 4, and the new approach will be ushered in John O’Hare’s Bar, Cornmarket, tonight (Monday, January 11) at 10.30pm. Gary Keane, Killimor, The Neale, was the final jackpot winner. His selection of the numbers 6, 9, 12 and 16 gained him €19,000 in the draw held on Monday, August 17, 2015. The demise of the Lotto was fittingly noted by the holding of a special draw and the lucky entrants were: Des May, The Neale Road (€500); Jerome Varley, Cross (€500); Joe Mulroe, c/o Art’s Bar (€250); Tracey Finnegan, Castlebar (€250); Fionn O’Loughlin, Clonbur Road (€250); Fergal O’Loughlin, Killoshine (€250); Shane Kelly, Ballinrobe (€100); Hilary Flannery, Rahard (€100); Martin Browne, c/o Cummins’ Hardware (€100); Joan Shaughnessy, Kilmaine (€100); Denis Kelleher, The Neale Road (€100); John Tiernan, Convent Road (€100); Michael Keane, Carrowkeel (€100); Elaine Macken, Main Street (€100); Iarla Reilly, Castlebar Road (€100); and Pat Guckian, Abbey Street (€100). In-house winners: Ita Cawley, Monica Niland, John Niland, and Willie Connolly. Spot-prizes, sponsored by Inch’s Bar: Denis Kelleher and Kathleen Fahy.
Dear Club Member, As some of you will be aware our long running GAA Club Lotto came to an end last Monday night, congratulations to the winners of the numerous prizes given out at the last draw in Inch’s. As a club we also take this opportunity to thank everyone who has bought tickets over the years for their valued support, along with this we were very reliant on our lotto selling teams and local outlets that sold so many tickets over the years and for this we as a club are extremely grateful for all the hard work provided. A new era begins next Monday night as Ballinrobe GAA Club launches its 50/50 draw in John O Haire’s Pub, Cornmarket. The first draw will take place at 10.30pm on the night. Ballinrobe GAA 50/50 tickets are on sale from all usual outlets around the town, and as a club we will continue to sell at weekends around the local public houses to any interested parties. As a club we are lucky enough to possess a large and committed group of members, vital sources of fund raising are crucial to ensure the club can continue to improve at all levels. In this regard we would appreciate all support given to this new initiative. Finally on behalf of the club, we wish the very best for the coming year to all members and hope for a successful 12 months for all our players and mentors Donal McCormack, Runai — Ballinrobe GAA Club Ballinrobe, Co.

Pre-match audio interviews HERE Excitement mounting. Video will be live HERE Update, Christmas Morning, hope Santa was good: The Wrap Party + Video will be in Biggins’ Corner Bar at 4pm – this is likely to be an all-ticket affair, with significant black market activity, so be vigilant. Update, December 24, shortly before The Big Man goes on The Big Run (and we don’t mean Donie or Davy breaking upfield): This game is now changed to 12noon. It’s a Garda request apparently – they want to avoid the traffic chaos of previous years. The game will be live streamed with Cos Cam, as outlined below. Watch it HERE. The video will be shown at 4pm in a secret location (a secret that will be prised from Declan Corcoran on this Holy Night, by one means or another…) Reminder of the traffic difficulties three years ago: Update, December 15: And this is not a joke. Micheál Keane has confirmed a) he won’t play – which is a big disappointment, b) he will shoot the video – which is a big boost, c) he will live stream the game on the day, and d) he will even have Cos Cam on match referee Padraic Costello Snr (who has also confirmed his availability today). It’s getting serious now. The video of the game will also be shown afterwards in a local hostelry. The (almost) annual St Stephen’s Day Game will take place this year at 2pm in Flanagan Park. The Under 25s will play the Over 25s. Birth certs will be requested. Further details later but you can pencil in this for the day after The Big Day. Our new Players’ Rep James Quinn is actively canvassing participants, in case you want to avoid taking his call when you see his number coming up. And if you’re over 25, you should be very wary if you see David Killeen sidling up to you some night over the early festive period. Referee will hopefully be Padraic Costello Snr, and he might double as match analyst for the video.
