Games at the Weekend
On Saturday evening the first team travel to Ballinamore for the second round game against Mohill. This will be another tough encounter. Throw in time for this game is 7.30pm.
On Sunday at 12 noon the second team are once again in Drumkeerin where they take on Aughnasheelin.
Good luck to all involved in both games.
The Championship
The first team played Glencar/Manorhamilton on Saturday evening last in Pairc Sean and this turned out to be the usual close encounter. The first half was a very low scoring affair and the Gaels went into the break two points down (0-03 to 0-01) the second half was a bit better, the Gaels played a lot better and in the dying minutes led 0-07 to 0-05, but Glencar/Manor came back and levelled again. Both sides will feel they could have won the game, but draw was a fair result in the end.
The second team took on Cloone in the Intermediate Championship on Sunday and were always going to find it difficult. Nevertheless they put on a brave display and if they had been more accurate in front of goal it could have been a different story.
Final score was Cloone 2-07, Melvin Gaels 1-04.
Well done to both teams and the mentors.

Good Luck to the Leitrim Lads
The Club would like to wish the Leitrim team and mentors good luck in the game against Wicklow on Saturday evening.
Good Luck to the Gaels lads, Paul, Emlyn, Conor and Fabian.
A Lot of Football at the weekend
For reasons that are difficult to understand, the Club had to play a Division 3 game on Friday , another Division 3 game on Saturday and a Shield game on Sunday. With about forty adult players available to the Club and four of these ineligible due to Senior County commitments, not counting injuries, it was always going to be difficult.
Nevertheless great credit must go to the players who put in such a great effort and a good few played in all three games.
On Friday evening the second team travelled to Carrick on Shannon and came away with well very deserved draw against St Marys, Final Score was St Marys 2-05, Melvin Gaels 1-08.
On Saturday evening they made another long trip to Balinamore and suffered a narrow defeat to Sean O Heslins. Final score Sean O Heslins, 1-09, Melvin Gaels 0-10. Melvin Gaels played the whole second half of this game with fourteen players after a player got two yellow cards in the first half.
On Sunday at 1.30pm the Shield game against Aughawillan took place in Melvin Park. The Gaels got a deserved victory in this game on a final score of Melvin Gaels 2-11, Aughawillan 1-08. The Gaels had to finish this game with fourteen players, not because they had a player sent off but because they suffered injuries to players and had used all substitutes.
The Club would like to thank all players who turned out for all three games and, although some were barely able to walk at half three on Sunday, they did not complain.
With mass emigration, player burn out, and competition with other sports it’s hard to see how the events of last weekend can help.
Believe it or not there is no adult game scheduled for this weekend!
