League Game v Allen Gaels
On Sunday the Second team took on Allen Gaels in a Division 3 League game in Melvin Park. After the Patrick’s day celebrations it was obvious that neither team was at their best, but both fought hard and produced spells of good football. The Kinlough Gaels had a number of young players starting at this level and they performed well. Both teams were guilty of some glaring misses but the Gaels were worthy winners in the end.
The final score was Melvin Gaels 1-8, Allen Gaels 0-5.
Well done to all.
Tractor Parades on St Patrick’s Day
There was a large crowd at the Community Centre on St Patrick’s Day when the newly restored 1962 Massey Ferguson Tractor was unveiled. The tractor was decorated in the Club colours and took part in the parades at Ballyshannon, Bundoran and Manorhamilton.
The group of local volunteers started this restoration on January 9, 2012 and in record time completed their work on Friday night last. This was a remarkable achievement considering they worked on the tractor two or three nights each week and stripped it down and completely restored it.
A special word of thanks to the workers and to all the sponsors who made this possible.
Tickets for the raffle for the tractor, which takes place at a dance in the Allingham Hotel, Bundoran on October 12 now go on sale at €5 each or five for €20. These tickets are on sale locally and will soon be available here on the Melvin Gaels website http://www.melvingaels.com

Another win for the Minors
The Minors had another good win on Saturday when they defeated Garadice Gaels in Melvin Park. Well done to all.
Senior League Game v Dromahair
On Sunday the Seniors took on Dromahair in the Senior League. This was a close encounter and both teams will feel they could have won. In the end a draw was a fair result. The visitors played with the wind in the first have and should have went in at the break more than one point ahead.
In the second half the Gaels came back well and went into the lead, but Dromahair fought hard and got an equalising point from a free in the dying seconds.
Final score Melvin Gaels 0-8, Dromahair 0-8.
Vintage Tractor Project
Work on the tractor restoration is going well and it will be complete for St Patrick’s Day when it will be appearing at the Parade in Bundoran. More details next week.
