Intermediate Championship
Spa 1-12 Castleisland Desmonds 5-16A disappointing result for our seniors on Sunday as they were outplayed by a strong Desmonds side. Despite trailing by 1-7 to 0-4 early in the game they came back well to put just a point between the sides by half time 1-8 to 1-9. Four second half goals by Desmonds however finished our championship hopes for 2017.

Minors
Spa played Kenmare in a keenly fought battle at home. Spa took an early lead but the visitors scored a fortuitous goal to take the initiative, before Ryan Kelliher crashed home a cracker to leave the sides level at 1-5 each at half time. The second half was a ding-a-ling affair until Conor Stack who was a colossus at full back had to retire with a serious injury 15 minutes from the end. Despite powerful performances by Tom Fleming, Gary Vaughan and Niall McCarthy the Spa challenge faltered afterwards and Kenmare won out 4-12 and 2-10.
Minors togged out again last Friday night away to Castleisland and lost to a stronger Desmonds side.
Juniors
Our juniors began their East Kerry League with a draw against Glenflesk. The sides were matched point for point in the opening half, with Mike Murphy and Jamie Spillane (3f) on target to keep the teams level 0-4 apiece at half time. Spa stretched that lead in the third quarter with points from Alfie Giles, Jamie Spillane (2f) and John Falvey before Andrew Fitzgerald nudged a high ball past the Glenflesk keeper. Jamie Spillane hit another point before Glenflesk goaled, and a late Mikey Moynihan point levelled the game in the final minute.Team: Aaron Farrell, Dave Devane, Mikey Moynihan, Paul Russell, Mike Murphy, Eric O'Donoghue, Shane Fenton, Hugh O'Donoghue, Corey Doyle, Conor Gleeson, Aydan Mulvaney, Paul Cahill, John Falvey, Jamie Spillane, Alfie Giles.Subs: Rory O'Riordan, Andrew Fitzgerald, Michael Shannon, Brendan Lynch, Micheál Kearney

Ladies Football
Our U-14 girls played twice over the Easter Holidays. Played their back game away to Laune Rangers and lost in a nail biting finish. Started and played with 11 players but ended with the opposition playing their full compliment.
Easter Sunday played against a stronger Firies team but the girls deserve great praise for their efforts as we only have a small panel of players.
