The Rockets go skywards

Today is the first day of our new Robe Rockets section at Lakeside Sports Centre. Plenty of excitement, trepidation and the odd tear – and that’s only the parents. For many young people, this is their first time going to a club practice session. Hopefully it will be the first of many. Great turn-out of coaches and parents/guardians willing to help out. We will be indoors for the next few weeks before taking to Flanagan Park for the rest of the year. See pix and video HERE – sorry about the upside down ones. More being added throughout this morning. Listen HERE to club chairperson Alan Flannery welcoming young  players, coaches and parents/guardians to the Rockets.

The young club member who submits the winning entry will receive a €50 Vaughan’s Shoes voucher, sponsored by Ballinrobe GAA club. “Robe Rockets is about fun,  learning the skills of the game in an entertaining environment.

Judging will be carried out by a local artist. Club members born in or since the year of 2003 can enter by bringing their creation to their weekly Robe Rockets football get-together, or email it to secretary.ballinrobe.mayo@gaa.ie. Details of get-togethers for each age-group have  been circulated by email and text message, and they are also available on the club website www.ballinrobegaaclub.com.
