Under 14 Final
No joy for the Under 14s in the Final last Friday. It was a great achievement by this very young team to reach the Final. Well done to all concerned.
Junior Championship
The Juniors had a great win in Pairc Sean last Saturday evening against Bornacoola. Against all the odds, they produced a great team performance to win by nine points.
At half time they looked out of the championship, when they went in a point down. In the second half they played some great football and scored some great points to win comfortably in the end. Well done to all.

On Sunday the Seniors take on Drumreilly at 5.30pm in Drumshanbo in a relegation game. Good luck to all involved.

No Joy in First Game
The Seniors finished up losing to Mohill by three points on Saturday evening in Pairc Sean.
They performed reasonably well in the first half and were unlucky to go into the break a point behind, thanks to a late goal from Mohill. In the second half things seemed to go all wrong and the Gaels just could not put the ball over the bar.
Five points in any game is not good enough and things will have to improve greatly if they hope to progress any further in the Championship.
It will be a tough assignment again on Saturday evening against Sean O’Heslins.
Good luck to all the players and mentors.
Throw in for the game is 7.30pm.
Junior Championship Begins
On Monday at 2.30pm the Juniors take on Gortletterragh in Drumshanbo in the first game of the Junior Championship.

Junior Game v Glencar/ Manorhamilton

It was a low-scoring first half with the Gaels going into the break two points ahead, 0-4 to 0-2.
There were a lot more scores in the second half and the Gaels looked to be in control until Manor got the all important goal.
The final score was Melvin Gaels 0-10, Glencar/Manorhamilton 1-10.

A Terrible Tragedy
Apr 19th
The shock and sadness felt by the Club and the wider Kinlough Community when the news came through of the sad and tragic death of Philly McGuinness, is nearly impossible to describe.
Philly was an excellent footballer for club and county and will be sadly missed by all who knew and played with him.
Melvin Gaels players are distraught and deeply distressed by what happened on Saturday evening.
The Club and everyone involved with it would like to extend sincere sympathy to his mother, all his family, relatives and his many friends.
Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

Speedy Recovery Lads
Terrible injuries over the last two weeks have resulted in Melvin Gaels and Leitrim losing two of their best players in Colin Regan and Emyln Mulligan.
Over a long number of years Colin has served Melvin Gaels and Leitrim excellently.
Emyln has been an outstanding player over the last few years for both Club and County as well.
