Senior League v Ballinamore

On Saturday afternoon the Gaels recorded their second Senior League win of the year when they defeated Sean o Heslins, Ballinamore by the narrowest of margins.

The Gaels played their best football in the first half and went into the break leading by six points even though they were playing against a strong wind. In the second half playing with the wind they struggled and it was Sean O Heslins who played some good football drawing level near the end.

The Gaels were missing number of first team players through injury but the players who came in did well.

The final score was Melvin Gaels 1-8 Sean O Heslins 0-10.

Junior League v Ballinaglera
