Club Notes 9th September 2004
Senior B Championship
The Seniors play Glenfarne in a local derby in Round 1 of the Senior B
Championship this Sunday evening at 6pm in the Bee Park, Manorhamilton.
Despite the fact that both teams are out of the main championship, this is sure
to be a tightly contested match as most games between these teams have been in
recent years. With the game so near home and hurling finished on the telly
there should be a good crowd out to support the lads.
Junior Championship Final
The Juniors play Leitrim Gaels in the Final. This game is listed to be
played in Carrick on Shannon on Saturday September 11th at 5pm.
It would be nice to see a good support from Kinlough for this game.
Leitrim Gaels will be tough opposition and all the experience in the Melvin
Gaels Junior team will be needed.
Minor Final
Melvin Gaels Minor team play Drumkeerin this Thursday evening in Ballinaglera at
6:45pm.
This is a very good minor team with lots of potential.
Please come along and give the young future stars a bit of support.
50th Anniversary Celebrations
A function to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Melvin Gaels GAA Club is being
held in the Great Northern Hotel Bundoran on Friday December 3.
This promises to be a memorable night for the Club and tickets will be going on
sale shortly. Tickets will be €30 each. There will be a Four course meal and
music will be by the local band Superfreaks.

Lotto
The next Lotto draw will be held on Sunday night in the Anglers Rest, Kinlough.
Profit from this draw is going to Sudan Appeal.
More sellers are required for the Lotto. This is the main Fundraiser for the
Club and is vital for the continued running of the Senior Board and Board na Nog.
The work being carried out at Melvin Park could not be continued without the
Funds raised by the Lotto. To date the funds raised have assisted in
constructing the Dugouts, Buying a Mower and construction of the Running Track
and development of the Training Ground.
The proceeds of the Lotto are divided equally between Bord na Nog and the Senior
Board , so it would be nice if more people involved in all age groups could
assist in selling just a few lotto tickets.
If you would like to help and sell a few tickets contact the Bord na Nog
Secretary, Stephen or the Senior Board Secretary, Joe Mc Carron.
