Evan and Oran named on Mayo minor squad for 2017

After the recent series of County Cup games, two Ballinrobe players – Evan O’Brien and Oran O’Malley – have been named in the Mayo minor squad for 2017. Evan and Oran both shone in the County Cup games that culminated in south Mayo losing narrowly to East Mayo in the final – 1-9 to 0-11 – at Mulvey Park, Castlebar. However, despite the disappointment of the defeat, there was good news for Oran and Evan, two of our most promising and committed young players, when they were included in the squad. We wish them the very best of luck and know they will represent our club with distinction. Both figured prominently in our recent Mayo U21 C championship final victory over Kilmeena. You can relive that game, including full commentary, after-match interviews and photos http://ballinrobegaaclub.com/u21final/

U12/13 Ladies Pella Final

We had a great turnout to watch our last games and what great finals we had to finish off our football for 2016. The games were very competitive but played in a great spirit and all the girls were rightly proud of the way they played. There are lots of people to thanks, firstly thanks to OBH Kitchens for sponsorship of the cups for the winning teams. Thanks to John F and all at Lakeside for facilitating the running of the league and for providing a goodie bag for all the players after the finals. Thanks to Ellen, Leah and Mary our TY coaches – they have always encouraged and supported the players and are a great example to the girls. Thanks to parents who got the girls to the matches, we had a great turnout for all the games this year. And lastly thanks to the 32 the players, many of whom have just started playing football for the first time this year. Their skills, enthusiasm and sportsmanship have made it a very enjoyable six weeks. There were many highlights from the finals but these stood out. Kicked scores – Lara Philbin & Maria Macken Best Block – Moya O Connell & Sinead O Sullivan Best hand passed score – Maeve Feerick & Magdalena Burakiewicz A few photos from the Final

U12/13 Ladies Pella Final Countdown

Well that five weeks flew by, it has been great to see how well the girls have adapted to Pella in such a short period of time. What is most encouraging from their coaches point of view is to see that the players continue to practice in between games – well done – that is the best way to develop your skills. Thanks to our TY coaches who have been great  advising, supporting and encouraging the players. So the final pairings have been decided and I would encourage all parents, grandparents, siblings and friends to come along and support. Many of these young ladies are playing football for the first time this year and they deserve all the support they can get. Come along you won’t get better entertainment on a Thursday evening. The week 5 games were fiercely competitive but played in a great spirit. Best Kicked Score: Lucy Biggins Best Hand Passed Score : Aoife O Sullivan Best block : Amy Mc Ginty
