League Final
No joy for the Seniors on Sunday in the Senior League Final against Glencar/Manorhamilton in Pairc Sean when they were beaten by the narrowest of margins. The Gaels never produced the kind of football they played in the Senior Championship final. After missing a number of scoring chances in the first half they went into the break scoreless, but were still only two points down, so there was very little between the teams.
In the second half the Gaels played better football, and some great scores from Emlyn Mulligan meant the final whistle arrived with both sides having scored six points. It was the extra time that decided the contest, with Glencar/Manorhamilton getting an all important goal and although the Gaels got two more points they were unable to get the point that would have brought a replay.
In eighty minutes of football the crowd saw only fifteen scores in all, eight from the Gaels and seven from Manorhamilton, numerous yellow cards and inevitably two red, as well as a lot of strange refereeing decisions.
This was not the kind of game that we would like to see every weekend. The only thing that kept the game interesting was the closeness of the score. Well done to all the lads and the mentors who did so well over the year in the league and brought the Senior Championship title to Kinlough.
Congratulations to Glencar/Manorhamilton on their win.
Good Luck
Good luck and best wishes to Paul Mc Gurrin and his girlfriend Celine McConnan on their travels.

Congratulations to the Junior team on the great win in the Division 4 League Final on Saturday afternoon in Pairc Sean.
It has been a great league campaign for the Juniors and they were rewarded when the overcame a good St Mary’s team.
The conditions were good and the first half was more like a senior game than Division 4.

In the end it was a well deserved win.
Well done to all the lads and the mentors, Peter, Dessie and John.

Division Four League Final
The Division Four League Final versus St Marys has been rearranged for 3pm on Saturday next.
Good Luck to Peter, Dessie, John and all the lads.
It has been a long season and the supporters have been very good travelling in large numbers to the games all year. This is the last game of the year and it would be nice to see a good crowd again in Pairc Sean on Saturday.
The Passing of a Great Gaels Man
The sad death of Oliver Regan has marked the loss of one of the greatest supporters of Melvin Gaels and indeed of the County. His colourful presence will be sadly missed at all the games. He was in fantastic form after the Intermediate Final win in Ballinamore on September 24th.
The Club extends sincere sympathy to Oliver’s wife Mae, all his Family and his many relatives and friends.
May He Rest in Peace
