Under 21 B Champions
On Saturday afternoon in Pairc Sean there were great celebrations when the Gaels Under 21s defeated North Leitrim neighbours, Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher in the Under 21 B Championship Final.
This was a very well contested final with both sides playing some great football. Despite all the rain, the pitch was in excellent condition, and both these teams served up a very entertaining game, particularly for the neutrals among the crowd.
The Gaels deserved their win but were pushed all the way by a very good and determined Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher team.
A goal in each half from Glenfarne/Kiltyclogher meant that the Gaels had to fight all the way.
A well worked goal, with a great finish from Packie Hill, for the Gaels midway through the second half eased the tension and put the Gaels in the driving seat. There were some great performances and many contenders for man of the match in the Gaels team, but congratulations to James Bredin who was very deserving of the award.
Congratulations to Gareth, David and Joe and all the lads.
Congratulations as well to Shane Ryan who celebrated his 18th Birthday on Saturday- a nice present for Shane, he also put in a great performance.

Melvin Gaels Golden Jubilee Celebrations
On Sunday August 2nd, the community of Kinlough stepped back in time with the Melvin Gaels Golden Jubilee celebrations. The evening began with Fr. Keogan arriving on pony and trap to celebrate Mass, with members of the honoured 1959 team participating in the readings and offertory gifts. After Mass, a large crowd gathered round to hear a fitting speech by Mr. Pauric White at the unveiling of the plaque dedicated to Gerald Gilmartin, honouring his donation for the training field. This was followed by an entertaining re-enactment of the 1959 county final by a first class Kinlough side who thankfully won out again against Ballinamore! Following the game, the hungry players and spectators were greeted in the community centre by the smell of homemade bread and scones which was served to all with a welcome cup of tea while Seamus Sweeney, Eileen Kane & Lydia Warnock entertained with some excellent traditional music.
Thanks to Noel McGowan, Spar, Kinlough, the 1959 County Finalists and committee were treated to a sit down meal where many a story was recounted! The highlight of the evening was a comical sketch of the Club’s first meeting in 1954, adapted by Patsy McGovern. Well done to the actors and actress who gave a very fine performance to a packed hall. The evening ended with excellent traditional music from Seamus McGowan and members of local Ceoltas group and dancers from the Emerald Revellers.
Thanks to all who embraced the spirit of the occasion and dressed as in the 50’s and congratulations to Nora McGloin, who won best dressed lady sponsored by the newly opened Arroo Hair Group, Kinlough and Colin Regan, who was chosen as the best dressed gentleman, sponsored by F&F Construction, judge on the day was Clem Prendergast. Thanks also to our other sponsors, B&M DIY Manorhamilton, Edel Hegarty Hair Salon, Creevykeel and Joe & Edel McCarron for supplying raffle prizes and to all those who made the wonderful homemade bread and to the ladies who served it.
Watch out for the DVD on the shelves in the coming weeks!!
