League Game v Drumreilly
The seniors secured a win in the first League game when they overcame Drumreily on Sunday in Melvin Park. The Gaels controlled the game and were deserving winners.

Drumreilly got off to a flying start with a goal in the opening minutes, but the Gaels soon took control a finished the half strongly and went four points ahead. Two goals from James Bredin in the second half gave the Gaels a comfortable win in the end.

There is plenty of room for improvement, but its important to get off to a winning start so well done to all concerned.

Final score Melvin Gaels 2-8, Drumreilly 2-1.

Next up for the seniors is an away game with Mohill at 2pm on Sunday next.

The second team begin their campaign with an away game against Leitrim Gaels on Saturday at 4pm.

Good luck to all.
