The Late Peter Feeley
There was shock and sadness in the Club and in the wider Community at the news of the sad and sudden death of Peter Feeley, Moniengaugagh, Glenade.
Peter was a very popular player with the Gaels before going off to work in England. He was always a great supporter of Melvin Gaels and of Leitrim down the years. He was there to celebrate on October the 4th, 1998 when the Gaels beat hot favourites Sean O’Heslins to win the Senior Final. Last year, fourteen years later, almost to the day, October the 7th, Peter was back again in Pairc Sean, to see his beloved Gaels beat four in a row winners Glencar/Manorhamilton to win the Senior Final again. This time Peter was even more delighted because his nephew, Stephen Clancy, played a great game for the Gaels. He was a proud man at the final whistle and his broad smile said it all.
Deepest Sympathy is extended to his sister, Mary Clancy, brothers, Con, Pat and Martin and all his many relatives and many friends.
May He Rest in Peace.
Good Luck Leitrim
The Club would like to wish good luck to all the Leitrim Team and management in the game in New York at the weekend.
Best of Luck to Gaels lads, BB, Paul and Fabian and also Emlyn.

Senior League v Gortletterragh
The Seniors had a good win over Gortletterragh on Sunday in Melvin Park .The game was played in terrible weather conditions. Both sides found scores hard to come by. The Gaels played against the wind and after a shaky start when they conceded two goals the held the ball and scored three points. The home side trailed by five points at the break and then took control in the second half with the storm behind them. A great goal from Paul Brennan put the Gaels in front, but it took a brilliant double save from goalkeeper, Peter Reilly, late in the game to ensure the two points went to the home side. Final Score was Melvin Gaels 1-8, Gortletteragh 2-2.
Division 3 League v Eslin
Despite a brave effort the Junior team were narrowly beaten by Eslin in a game directly after the Senior game. Because of injuries and players not available, a number of players who lined out for the seniors took the field again for the juniors. Nevertheless had they been able to take the scores created in the second half they would have won the game. Well done to all the players and management who performed so well in both games.
Games coming up
On Saturday next the Juniors travel to Glencar Manorhamilton for a Division 3 game at 7pm and on Sunday the Senior team travel to Carrick on Shannon for a Senior League game against St Marys at 1.30pm.
Good Luck to all the players and management.

Senior League v Mohill
On Easter Monday the senior team travelled to Mohill and new manager Gerry Mullaney was rewarded with a win in his first competitive game in charge. This was an entertaining match against a strong Mohill side with the home team going in at half time 5 points up. The Gaels had a lot to do in the second half playing against the wind but a patient passing game saw the team get the scores that drew them closer to Mohill. The decisive moment of the game was a well taken Tom Lipsett goal that involved 15 passes. The final score was Mohill 2-06, Melvin Gaels 1-11.Team: Peter O’Reilly, Stephen Clancy, Fabian McMorrow, Sean Gallagher, Shane Ryan, Keith McGloin, Donal Clancy, Stephen McGurrin, BB Brennan, Jonnie Connolly, Paul Brennan, James Bredin, Peter McGowan, Tom Lipsett, and Patrick McGowan

Cycle Run – A Great Success
On Sunday 17th February, Melvin Gaels held the inaugural ‘Tour De Melvin’, a fun cycle around the famous North Leitrim lake, in aid of the Lydia Branley Trust Fund and the Melvin Gaels Player Injury Fund.
Over 120 competitors eagerly participated on what was fortunately a beautiful, crisp spring morning. All who took part thoroughly enjoyed it and agreed that it should become an annual event.
The huge success of the cycle is owed, firstly to the competitors, but also to the sponsors; Noel McGowan Spar, Shane Gallagher Drowes Salmon Fishery, BMG Hardware Bundoran, Simpsons Kinlough, The Courthouse Restaurant, Al Connolly Butchers and Teds Bike Shop Donegal Town, to all those who collected sponsorship and those who gave very generously to the cause, and to those who provided refreshments on the day.
To date €1000 has been raised for each cause and we hope to maintain the success of this event for years to come.

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.
