Debut Day 2016

By Annette Conway, PRO Robe Rockets Well done to our youngest Robe Rockets, U6 boys and girls who played their first match in Club colours. Our U8’s lined out to cheer and clap our U6’s onto the pitch as they made their debut entrance. Alongside the U6’s match, our U8’s played Kiltimagh U8’s. There was over 65 Ballinrobe children playing in parallel in the Lough, demonstrating all the skills learnt at training to the players who played so well and thankfully the rain held off. As a special momentum, each U6 debutant received a medal to mark their debut match. Future Mayo GAA Senior Winners 2032!!!!
