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.

We Did It !
There were great scenes of delight at the final whistle on Sunday evening in Pairc Sean when the Senior team beat neighbours and ‘Four in a Row’ winners Glencar/Manorhamilton in the Senior County Final. There was a great crowd at the Community Centre and all along the way from Glenade to Tullaghan. The celebrations no doubt will continue for some time. In the game itself the Gaels held the upper hand from start to finish and never allowed the reigning champions to get in front. The final score was Melvin Gaels 2-7, Glencar/Manorhamilton 0-7. The margin could have been much greater if the Gaels had taken all the chances they had, particularly in the first half. There were fine displays from many Gaels players on the day and there were a few contenders for ‘Man of the Match’. Congratulations to Paul Brennan who was the winner. Well done to all the players who have done the Club so proud over the whole year and also to Billy, Liam and Aiden who have worked so hard. They got their deserved reward on Sunday. A word of thanks to all who helped to make Sunday such a memorable day in Pairc Sean and in the homecoming celebrations. It was a proud day for the Club and all associated with it, all over the world. Hopefully this will be repeated on a few more occasions by these great players.

In the Final!
On Saturday evening there were jubilant scenes in Pairc Sean when the Senior team comfortably defeated a young Aughawillan team to reach the Senior Final against near neighbours Glencar/Manorhamilton on Sunday September 7th. This is a fantastic achievement when you consider that this Melvin Gaels team took part in, and won, the Intermediate Championship in 2011.
All the panel of players and the mentors, Billy, Liam and Aiden are to be congratulated.
Hopefully this will be a great sporting occasion between the two North Leitrim teams – a very successful Glencar/Manor team, going for five in a row, and an upcoming Melvin Gaels team. We all look forward to the last Sunday in September!

Double Joy in Ballinamore
The Junior team put in great performance in Ballinamore when they defeated a very good Mohill team by three points to win the Junior A Championship final.
This was a very entertaining game for any neutral. The result was in doubt up to the last minute. The Gaels showed great character to come back from six points down in the first quarter.
It was a good sporting game played in near perfect conditions on a great surface.
Congratulations to each and every one of the players on the Junior panel who worked so hard to win this Junior championship.
Well done also to the mentors Peter, Dessie and John.
Thanks to Michelle Brennan who did such a great job looking after any injuries at the Junior Final on Sunday and also at the Intermediate Final the previous Saturday.
The Club would like to also thank the large numbers who travelled again to Ballinamore to support the lads.
There was another great welcome for the team when they arrived back in the village on Sunday evening.
Thanks also to Gordon McGowan for taking photographs at the game.
