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.

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.

League Game v Drumreilly
The seniors secured a win in the first League game when they overcame Drumreily on Sunday in Melvin Park. The Gaels controlled the game and were deserving winners.
Drumreilly got off to a flying start with a goal in the opening minutes, but the Gaels soon took control a finished the half strongly and went four points ahead. Two goals from James Bredin in the second half gave the Gaels a comfortable win in the end.
There is plenty of room for improvement, but its important to get off to a winning start so well done to all concerned.

Melvin Gaels vs Leitrim Gaels

in match reports
The Melvin Gaels Junior side suffered their second defeat of the league campaign against a powerful Leitrim Gaels first fifteen in Kinlough last Sunday on a score line of 1-12 to 1-6. Played in ideal conditions the home side struggled to cope for much of the game with the greater physicality and experience of their southern counterparts who appear to be a much stronger outfit than their Division 4 status suggests.
That said there was little to separate the teams in the first 15 minutes with Jonathan Connolly opening the scoring for the northern Gaels with a superbly taken point from the wing after 5 minutes. In the second quarter the Southern side took a firm grip on proceedings to lead at half time by 0-6 to 0-2 – a Paul Simpson free doubling the Melvin men’s tally for the half. The third quarter also belonged to the men from Leitrim village who stormed into a commanding 1-11 to 0-3 lead with 10 minutes remaining.
It is to the credit of the home side that they refused to lie down at this point, instead they displayed tremendous guts and character to fight back in the last ten minutes hitting an unanswered 1-3. Paul Simpson made up for an unfortunate penalty miss with a well executed goal and two points, while the evergreen Tom Lipsett completed the scoring for the home side with a well taken point from play.
The game proved to be a useful learning curve for the players and management who face near neighbours Glencar Manor in Manorhamilton in their next league outing in a fortnight’s time.
Team and scorers were: Paul Rooney, Sean Kilkenny , Matthew McGloin, Shane Ryan, Anthony Tiffoney, Blaine Mulligan, Patrick McGowan, Bernard McGowan, Pat Gallagher, Peter McGowan, Joe McGowan, Donal Clancy, Jonathan Connolly (0-1), Packie Hill, Paul Simpson (1-4) Subs: Peter O’Reilly for Packie Hill, Stephen Clancy for Sean Kilkenny, Tom Lipsett (0-1) for Peter O’Reilly, Declan Roper for Donal Clancy, Joe Tiffoney for Peter McGowan, Kevin Corby.

Junior Game v Aughnasheelin
Melvin Gaels juniors had a fantastic win away from home over Aughnasheelin, in what were perfect conditions over the weekend. The first half was a one sided affair with the Gaels working extremely hard to win every ball and playing at a high tempo. The away side were relentless in their approach and led 1-9 to 0-1 at half time. Highlights of the first half were a sublime Pat Gallagher point from the right wing, a superbly taken goal by Fergal Gallagher and two 45′s from goalkeeper Paul Rooney!
Aughnasheelin responded well to their management’s half-time talk and really tested the Gaels in the third quarter, scoring three unanswered points after the break. Anthony Tiffoney scored a crucial point with fifteen minutes remaining to settle the Gaels and this was the spring board for the away side to re-establish their dominance on the game. Paul Simpson scored three points and two more frees from Paul Rooney closed the game out with a convincing victory for Melvin Gaels.
This was a great team performance from Melvin Gaels and every player was outstanding. Eight of the starting fifteen scored on the day and it bodes well for the future of the club that ten of the points came from three players that are under 21 years of age, Jonathon Connolly (0-1), Paul Rooney (0-4) and Paul Simpson (0‑5).
Melvin Gaels: Paul Rooney (0-4), Dermot Clancy, Matthew McGloin, Shane Ryan, Anthony Tiffoney (0-1), Blaine Mulligan (captain, 0-1), Patrick McGowan, Bernard McGowan, Pat Gallagher (0-2), Donal Clancy, Joe McGowan, Jonathon Connolly (0‑1), Paul Simpson (0-5), Fergal Gallagher (1-1), Damien Sheridan
Subs used: Tom Lispett for Anthony Tiffoney, Peter O’Reilly for Jonathon Connolly

Memorable Trip To Croke Park
Last Thursday was an historic day Melvin Gaels GAA Club when the under 12 teams competed in the “ Play and Stay” competition at Croke Park. The teams playing on the day were all from Connacht. The club fielded two nine a side teams. The players, mentors and spectators were hugely impressed by the organisation of the competition and the state of the art facilities now available at this historic stadium. The players however were not overawed by the occasion. They played six games in all and won five which augers well for the future of this team. Afterwards they were provided with lunch and then given a guided tour of Croke Park with the guide providing information on the history of Croke Park and the vast amounts spent on making it one of the finest stadiums in the world. While the winning of the games was encouraging the overall theme of the games was enjoyment and an opportunity for all the competing young people to relish this special occasion. The day will be remembered forever by all concerned. Special thanks to Thomas Keenan and Jimmy Holohan from the Leitrim County Board Coiste Na Nog coaching committee, to Melvin Gaels Senior Board, and to the mentors, parents and supporters and finally to our young team of whom our Club and Parish can be justifiably proud.
Team 1: – Leo Ryan, Darragh Rooney, Keith Lynch, Owen Hill, Cathal McSharry, Rory McDonagh, Killian McManus and Pauric Sheridan.
Team 2: – Declan Clancy, Gareth Kearns, Killian McGloin, James O’ Reilly, Rory Sweeney, Dylan Brain, Oisin McGowan, Marcus McGowan and Benin Lynch.
