Oran O’Malley visits Robe Rockets training

By Annette Conway, PRO Robe Rockets We were delighted to welcome our own Oran O’Malley to our U6’s and U8’s Rockets training this morning along with the Paddy Drummond Cup, Connaught Senior League and Championship cups. Oran took time to answer lots and lots of questions from our Rockets and he advised them to practice lots and listen to their Coaches!!! Sean Grimes our U6 coach was brought back to 1999 as Sean was Captain of the last Ballinrobe Community School to win the All Ireland College final. A massive “Thank you” to Oran and once again congratulations to all involved in Ballinrobe Community School. We wish you all the very best with exams, Clubs and County involvement in 2017.

The large crowd in attendance were treated to four highly competitive matches with very little to separate the teams. Congratulations to all players involved. U10 Boys Training returns outdoors this week and will take place on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 6.45pm to 8pm in Flanagan Park. Thanks to our Parents for ensuring the boys kept to their match schedules and who came out week on week to support the boys and to John F and staff at the Lakeside for hosting us once again. A special mention to each team coach who helped throughout the six weeks and as always Des May and Padraic Delaney, U10 Coaches for organising and running the league. A video and some photos from the night               They came down eventually !!!

St Patrick’s Day Parade

By Annette Conway, PRO Robe Rockets Thank you to our Robe Rockets, Parents and Coaches who braved the weather for the St Patrick’s day parade. An enjoyable and dry afternoon allowed us to follow our Rocket around town accompanied by a drum and a chorus of whistles. If we could have bottled the noise from the whistles the rocket would have taken off!!! We even made the RTE Six One News as part of the Ballinrobe Parade coverage. A big well done to the organisers of the Ballinrobe parade. Here are a few memories from the day.    We have many more photos from the parade. If you wish you can email us ballinroberoberockets@gmail.com and we will send you on the link. Some Videos below also:     Finally the famous news coverage 🙂 Copyright of RTE NEWS.
