"We never die" - Melvin Gaels celebrate heroic final comeback

Melvin Gaels staged one of the most dramatic county final comebacks in recent memory on Sunday, when they overturned a 10-point second-half deficit to break the hearts of Allen Gaels of Drumshambo.

The Kinlough men netted three second-half goals to win by one, on a final scoreline of 3-8 to 2-10.

It was cruel on Allen Gaels, who had looked the better team for much of the hour.

They led 0-7 to 0-5 at half-time, and scored two quickfire goals in the third quarter through Ciaran McMorrow.

With 20 minutes to go, Allen Gaels led by 2-9 to 0-5.

However, then began the Melvin Gaels revival which resulted in the most unlikeliest of comebacks.

Team goalkeeper and Player of the Match Kevin McGloin gave his reaction to Ocean FM Sport's PJ Leddy.
