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

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.

Busy weekend in town – well done to festival committee

Phew! Time to catch some breath after a hectic weekend in Ballinrobe. Well done to the Queen of the Lakes festival committee who put together a busy and entertaining programme of events – they even managed to organise it that the €6m National Lottery jackpot would be won in Ballinrobe during the festival. In the GAA club, we were delighted to play our part by staging the Christy O’Loughlin Memorial Cup for the first time. A full report is available elsewhere on this site. Hopefully the festival will continue to be an annual event from now on – though we do not for one minute underestimate the amount of work the committee had to put in to make it all possible. We are particularly grateful to organiser Monica Horan for the support she offered us as we staged our under 12 tournament on Saturday.
