HAPPY EASTER TO EVERYONE ATHOME AND ABROAD.
Senior Co League: Spa 4-18 Listowel Emmets 2-11
Played in Frank Sheehy Park in Listowel, Spa had the better start with opening scores from Evan Cronin (2), Michael Foley and Shane Cronin. Listowel shortly drew level before Craig Hickey had 1-1 on the board, the goal following on from a long pass in from Dara Moynihan. James Devane had two brilliant saves in goal before Evan Cronin and Michael Foley extended the Spa lead. At half time Spa led 1-7 to 0-7. Shane Cronin pointed on the restart before Listowel slotted home a dubious penalty to make it 1-8 to 1-7 after just 4 minutes. Dara and Craig kicked over two more but they were quickly cancelled out again by Listowel. Spa then hit a purple patch, notching up 3-5 in just 10 minutes, the hat-trick from Evan Cronin and points from Craig Hickey (2), Aydan Mulvaney, Evan Cronin and Shane Cronin, while James Devane had another great block in front of goal. Michael Foley, Dara Moynihan and Liam Kearney points closed out the game.

Independence For Tiernan
Batty O'Sullivan's grandson, Tiernan 11 years, suffers from Spina Bifida and is a wheel chair user. His room is upstairs and can no longer crawl up and down the stairs. He has been very sick for the past 6 months and has had 5 surgeries in this time. He's sleeping in the sitting room. As you can imagine this is very uncomfortable for Tiernan. His family are raising funds to build a room downstairs. Tickets can be purchased from the family or at the door on the night. €10 adult €5 children. Please support this worthy cause.
