We're very excited to announce details of our upcoming Race Day on the lawns of Mount Falcon. An exciting afternoon and evening of racing, dining, live music and fun is guaranteed for those fortunate enough to be present.

THE event, which is always one of the biggest events on the local social calendar, takes place on Friday, August 1st, and it promises to be the best yet. The annual Race Day (in conjunction with Galway Races) generates a wonderful sense of excitement as friends from far and near converge in a sea of colour and celebration.
The event is a major fundraiser for the club and everyone at Ballina RFC is excited to once again partner with Mount Falcon Estate to create one of the most enojyable events of the summer.
"We're a hugely progressive, community-based club fueled by high-energy and great people," Ballina RFC President, Ed Gunning explains. "Mount Falcon is an ideal partner for us because the entire estate mirrors our vision perfectly."
Alan Maloney, owner of Mount Falcon, commented: We're delighted to be part of this prestigious fundraising event again this year for our local, dynamic and progressive rugby club.
"I cannot think of a better way to celebrate than an evening here at Mount Falcon enjoying the thrills and spills of the Galway Races."
An integral part of the big day will be the Best Dressed Lady and Best Dressed Gentleman competitions. Club chairman, Alan Rowe, believes this will added even more clamour to the exciting event. "This is another wonderful opportunity for some fun and gives us all the chance to show how colourful we can be."
