A Great Evening in Ballinamore
The Gaels had a great win over a very determined Gortletteragh team in Ballinamore on Saturday evening. The scoreline suggests that this was an easy win for the Gaels but for the large Melvin Gaels support it was a very nervous time, especially in the first half.

Gortletteragh were the better team in the first half and only for some great scores by ‘Man of the Match’ Emlyn Mulligan and a fantastic save by Jesse McGuinness the margin could have been much greater than a single point. After a nervous start to the second half the Gaels dominated the game and finished comfortable winners. There were jubilant scenes at the end of the game.

Thanks for the great support at the game and the great reception when the team arrived back in Kinlough.

Well done to each and every one of the Intermediate panel who put so much hard work into ensuring that the Gaels return to the Senior Championship in 2012.

Congratulations to Billy and Brian on doing such a great job.

Thanks to everyone who helped in any way.

Anyone wanting photographs, which were taken at the game, should contact Claudio in the Dartry Centre.
