Club Notes 26th April 2004
The
Senior team took on Allen Gaels in a Senior Leagure game in Bundoran last
Saturday evening, the Kinlough Gaels were beaten on a scoreline of 1-8 to 0-13.
There
was some excellent football played by both these teams and it turned out to be
a very close and entertaining game.
Melvin
Gaels played their best football in the first half looked as if they would come
out winners. In the second half Allen Gaels looked much stronger and
possibly their more experience told in the end.
Nevertheless, Melvin Gaels have played a lot worse than this and have won
games. Even
though Melvin Gaels have lost their first two senior league games they are
playing some good football and will no doubt soon produce the goods.
The
Melvin Gaels team and scorers was: Gareth
phelan, Matt Connolly, James Phelan, Fergal Mc Gowan, Colm Mc Gowan, Fabian Mc
Morrow, Matthew Mc Gloin, Colin Regan, Brendan Brennan (0-2),Thomas Lipsett,
Damien Sheridan, Paul Mc Gurran, David Gillespie, Martin Mc Carron (0-4)
Michael Tiffoney (1-0) Subs:
Gareth Foley (0-1), Padraig Mc Gloin, Paul Lipsett (0-1), Joe Mc Gowan, Simon
Foley, David Mc Sharry..
The
Melvin Gaels Club would like to thank the Bundoran Club for the use of their
facilities. The playing pitch is a credit to all concerned.

nice to see injured players such as Stephen Clancy and Daniel Branley giving
their support to the team on Saturday.
