Connacht final confirmed get the blue and white flags out

By Liam Horan, Webmaster Confirmed: Connacht final on Monday 27th of January at 7.30pm in Tuam Stars pitch Let’s show them we are right behind them in this quest for provincial glory. The school is having a great year on the football front. It can only be good for football in Ballinrobe, and, indeed, in the broader hinterland. I’ve been onto Billy Burke to get the flags in – anyone else around town who stocks them, give them a gentle push too. Clonbur and Hollymount-Carramore people have ample supplies of blue and white flags, of course (with yellow in the case of Hollymount-Carramore, of course) – I’m sure they will get them up too.

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.
