League Game v St. Marys

The Seniors took on St. Marys in Melvin Park on Saturday evening and secured a badly needed win

This game was played in terrible conditions with constant rain and strong wind blowing.

Scores were hard to come by and both teams found it hard going .In the first half both teams had two scores each, but the Gaels got a well worked goal fisted to the net by Daniel Branley and a good point from Stephen McGurran. The half time score was Melvin Gaels 1-1 St. Marys 0-2.

In the second half the Gaels seemed to cope better with the conditions and thanks to some excellent free taking from Conor Sheridan they secured a deserved win.

Next up for the Gaels is another senior league game against Gortletterragh on Saturday evening at 6.30pm.

Understandably there was a very small crowd at the St Marys game hopefully there will be a big crowd and the sun shines next Saturday.


Good Luck Marcus

Melvin Gaels would like to wish every health and happiness to Garda Marcus Mulligan who retired recently from An Garda Siochana having been stationed in Kinlough and involved with the club for many years.
