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.

U6s to play Castlebar Mitchels

By Liam Horan, PRO, Robe Rockets David Conway, secretary, Robe Rockets, has lined up a game for our enthusiastic U6s. They play no less a club than Castlebar Mitchels at 6.30pm on Thursday in Flanagan Park, Ballinrobe. Ergo, U6 training on Wednesday will not take place – we expect all our U6s to be in bed early Wednesday night in anticipation of Thursday’s match. Come along and support the youngsters.

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.

Church Gate collection

Ballinrobe GAA Club will this weekend take up the Church Gate Collection for the Disabled Drivers Association of Ireland, who are based in Ballindine. Any member who is available to help out with the collection should contact Liam Horan, 087 9185 867, liamhoran09. For obvious reasons (i.e. Mayo v Donegal, throw-in 6pm, Saturday), we are particularly keen to find people who are available for the 7.30pm Mass on Saturday.
