Oughteragh Gaels

Well done to the Oughteragh Gaels team that put in a fantastic effort against Aughawillan in the relegation decider. The ladies secured their place in the top flight with a fantastic  3.12 to  1.09 victory. It was a  Hard fought game in poor conditions but the girls dug deep to remain playing senior football for 2019. Well done to all the players and mentors on a great victory

Well done to the Ballinamore festival committee on pulling off another wonderful festival for the town. The hard work and dedication of this small committee means so much to all the people of Ballinamore and the many visitors that make the annual pilgrimage to take part in the many events on show. Thanks to you all  

Festival Blitz

A fantastic day in the pairc on Saturday for our annual Ballinamore Family Festival blitz. We had 13 teams in total from Fenagh, Dernacreive, Aughnasheelin Gaa, Kiltubrid, Leitrim Gaels, Garadice Gaels and Ballinamore with players from nursery right up to u11 playing . It was fantastic to see so many players togged out and was a great opportunity for some of our visiting kids to play for their ancestral teams. Special thanks to Fresh Today for sponsoring the fruit and water, the festival for supplying the ice cream, our own club for the crisps and drinks and last but certainly not least our local Garda for supplying and presenting nearly 200 medals to all of the participants. Thanks also to all the mentors, parents, helpers and referees for making it a fantastic success- role on next year !!!
