Games Last Weekend – On Saturday evening last the Senior team took on Glencar/ Manorhamilton in the first game in the Senior League. Despite making a great start to the game and going four points ahead, the Gaels did not keep up the momentum and finished up second best. Final score Glencar/ Manorhamilton 2-12, Melvin Gaels 1-8.
Next up for the Seniors is Sean O Heslin’s, Ballinamore at 6.30pm next Saturday evening in Ballinamore. Good Luck to all the players and mentors.
The Junior team took on a strong Carrigallen team in Melvin Park on Sunday last in Division 2 and despite playing some good football were beaten on a scoreline of Carrigallen 2-12, Melvin Gaels 0-9. This was a good performance by the Gaels considering many of these young players were playing their first game at this level.
This team now take on Sean O Heslins in the second game of Division 2 on Sunday at 12 noon in Ballinamore. Good Luck to all.
