U21 game postponed as a mark of respect to the late Darragh Doherty

Our Mayo U21 C football championship game against Tourmakeady, scheduled for Tourmakeady tomorrow evening (Wednesday), has been postponed as a mark of respect to the late Darragh Doherty, Kilmaine. Darragh, a member of the Mayo team that won the 2013 All-Ireland minor title, was a close friend of a number of our players. Funeral ceremonies take place in Kilmaine over the next two days, as outlined HERE The U21 refixture will be announced in the coming days.

The late Darragh Doherty, Kilmaine

Ballinrobe GAA Club extends its deepest sympathies to the family of Darragh Doherty, Ballyhenry, Kilmaine, the former All-Ireland winning minor footballer, who was tragically killed in a car accident between Kilmaine and Ballinrobe last night (Sunday). Darragh (19) was among the attendance at Saturday evening’s South Mayo Junior B final between his club Kilmaine and Shrule-Glencorrib in Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe. He was his usual jovial and friendly self as he mingled with spectators from both clubs and our own members. The Doherty family are hugely respected in GAA circles throughout Mayo and further afield. Darragh was a past-pupil of Ballinrobe Community School and was one of the star attackers in the Mayo team which won the 2013 All-Ireland minor football title. All of us who knew him were intensely proud of his performances, particularly in Croke Park, where his true footballing talents shone through. His death casts a deep shadow over this region. In extending our sympathy to the Doherty family, we also remember his colleagues in Kilmaine GAA Club. We are conscious that no words of ours can soften the sense of despair that hangs over Kilmaine tonight. Darragh was their hero, the man who gave them reason to walk tall out of Croke Park just two short years ago, just like another great Kilmaine minor scoring star, Michael John Mullin, did 28 years previously. The Kilmaine club statement is contained HERE. May he rest in peace.

Correction – we don’t host O’Mara Cup final

Update: This game is being played in Hollymount, not in Ballinrobe. By Liam Horan, Webmaster Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe, is the venue this Sunday afternoon for the O’Mara Cup final between Hollymount-Carramore and Garrymore (1pm). Referee is Garryowen McMahon. There could be a tidy (as opposed to untidy, I guess?) crowd at this game so stewarding will be necessary. Alan Flannery is our usual co-ordinator of stewarding and I can’t see anything changing for this game so let Alan know if you’re available.

Safe travelling + good luck to the Robe lads @VaughanShoes @cozzy21

Safe travelling to all who are making the trek today. We have ‘skin in the game’ in both Mayo games – Padraic Costello Jnr is a Mayo junior selector (Junior with the juniors) while Donie Vaughan plays for Mayo seniors and Fergal Costello is a member of the backroom team. We wish all three – and both Mayo teams – every success. And, to keep the home fires burning, we are still looking for a few to do a Church Gate collection for the Disabled Drivers Association tomorrow morning. Let Liam Horan know if you can do it. For obvious, unavoidable reasons, we will not be taking up this collection this evening. See you all in Applegreen, where the miracle of the loaves and fishes is re-enacted every championship Sunday, and not a word at all about it.
