Lá na gClub
The Club celebrated Lá na gClub with a Family Sports day in Melvin Park on Sunday week last.
The sun shone and young and old took part in the many activities available on the day.
There was football for all ages and some old faces were on show late in the evening and it was obvious that the talent was still there, albeit in slower motion.
It was a great fun day for all, with Puc Fada, Nail Driving, Pillow Fighting, Obstacle Courses, “ The Square Chicken” Bottle Stall and many more interesting events.
Everyone enjoyed the day and a word of thanks must go to the many people who helped to make it all so successful.

Senior Game v Drumreilly
The Seniors had a good win over Drumreilly in Melvin Park on Saturday evening.
The game was played in ideal conditions and there was some good football played by both teams.
The first half was very even with Drumreilly going two points ahead before the Gaels got going with a point from Fabian Mc Morrow. Pat Gallagher added another point to draw level and Joe Tiffoney scored a very good point but had to go off injured soon after. Good to see Joe back again. Drumreilly came back with two mare scores , the Gaels went two points ahead at the break with two frees from David Mc Sharry and a great point from Sub, Jonathon Connolly.
The Gaels played the better football in the second half and good scores from BB Brennan, Jonathon Connolly and David Mc Sharry put the Gaels in control and when young Declan Roper scored a very good goal there was no doubt about the result.
Drumreilly had a couple of goal chances near the end but the Gaels finished strongly.
Final score was Melvin Gaels 1-13 Drumreilly 0-6.
The Melvin Gaels team and scorers was: Gareth Phelan, Colm Mc Gowan, James Phelan, Shane Ryan, Fabian Mc Morrow (0-1), Conor Sheridan, Paul Mc Gurran, Martin Mc Carron, BB Brennan (0-1), Joe Mc Gowan, David Mc Sharry (0-4, 2 frees), Pat Gallagher (0-1), Joe Tiffoney (0-1), Daniel Branley (0-2), Declan Roper (1-0).
Subs: Jonathon Connolly(0-2) for Joe Tiffoney, Stephen Clancy (0-1) for Shane Ryan, Peter Mc Gowan, Tom Lipsett, Patrick Mc Gowan, Paul Simpson, Blaine Mulligan and Fergal Gallagher.
This was a good team performance from the Gaels. Well done to all.

Senior Game v Allen Gaels
The seniors took on Allen Gaels on Sunday afternoon in Melvin Park and shared the points. This turned out to be a very entertaining game and the result was in doubt until the final whistle.
Allen Gaels went into a four point lead after ten minutes, scoring a goal and a point before Melvin Gaels woke up. Melvin Gaels then got their act together and two points each from David Mc Sharry and Thomas Lipsett brought the home side level a point each from Conor Sheridan and BB Brennan meant Melvin Gaels went into the break leading by two points.
In the second half the Gaels from South Leitrim playing with the advantage of a strong breeze cam back and leveled again. Conor Sheridan and BB Brennan again scored a point each but Allen Gaels kept on level terms until a good point from Daniel Branley put the home side ahead.
Both sides missed a number of chances during the game, and both will feel they could have won it.
Nine wides from Melvin Gaels in the first half is not good enough, but seeing as they scored all their nine points from play, it was a much improved performance since their outing against St Marys a few weeks ago.
Final score Melvin Gaels 0-9, Allen Gaels 1-6.
