Ballinrobe u14 Ladies Championship Campaign Continues

Our u14 ladies are playing their second round of championship this Monday at 7:30 in the Lough. After a thrilling game on Monday where Ballinrobe finished as victors on a score line of 4-10 to 5-6, the girls are now focusing on their game against Tourmakedy. Coming from 8 points behind at the break, our girls rattled the opposition, scoring 3 goals without reply. Our defence stood strong and solid as we coasted with points from both our full and half forward lines. Both midfielders and half backs had put in serious mileage with our full backs and superstar goalie holding down the fort as we drove forward. Our fresh legged subs were crucial and were involved in every play as soon as they arrived on the pitch. Everything was looking as nicely wrapped as the silage this year, until Kilmoremoy gave one last push that ended up in the back of the net. The ref blew it up and on the hottest day of the year, we were into extra time. Closer to a game at Wimbledon than the one of Croke Park standard that we had witnessed in normal time, the ball was back and over between both sides, point for point. After the longest six minutes of these girls’ lives, Ballinrobe finished ahead by the smallest of margins. For the first time in decades, Ballinrobe have an u14 competing in championship, and by God are they ready for it.

The late Madeline Malone

We extend our sympathy to the Malone family, and the extended family circle, on the sudden death of Madeline Malone, The Neale Road, Ballinrobe. Madeline was a lifelong supporter of the GAA, and is predeceased by her husband, a stalwart of our club for many years. You can read the club tribute to Pat Malone HERE Like Pat, Madeline had a particular love of the game of hurling, and the Malone family were central figures in the promotion of the sport in Ballinrobe in the 1970s and 1980s. The family also contributed handsomely to our football teams over many years, and members of the third generation of the family now play for Ballinrobe. Madeline was a loyal supporter of Ballinrobe teams in both codes. A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, she will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace. Funeral details are available HERE
