Junior EK League: Spa 0-10 Kilcummin 0-17

The game opened with a point each from Ryan Kelliher and Ivor Moynihan, but with several long passages of play, and a number of wides for both sides, it was in the 21st minute before the next score came. Paul Cahill pointed for Spa before Kilcummin kicked an unanswered five from Anthony O’Sullivan, Oscar O’Connor (2), Danny Cronin and Paul O’Riordan. Late in the half Ryan Kelliher and Mikey Moynihan added to the Spa tally and at the break Kilcummin led by 0-6 to 0-4. 

At the start of the second half two quick points from Ryan Kelliher levelled the game at 0-6 apiece. Additional points from Paul Cahill, Ryan Kelliher and John Falvey and points from Oscar O’Connor, Anthony O’Sullivan and Ritchie O’Connor levelled the game again at 0-9 apiece going into the final quarter. Kilcummin took control at this point and with points from Ritchie O’Connor, Tom O’Connor (2), Mikey O’Shea, Shane Smith, Anthony O’Sullivan and Danny Cronin, they led 0-16 to 0-9 in the final minutes. Two late points from Spa’s James Lynch and Liam Spillane, and a final point from Kilcummin’s Oscar O’Connor, finished the game at 0-17 to 0-10.

Co League Rd6: Spa 4-8 Na Gaeil 3-9

U12 Boys Co. League: Spa 2-15 Ballymac 5-09

Round 4 of County League took place Sunday evening in Spa against Ballymac. A very competitive affair but one which started badly for our boys who conceded 3-01 inside the opening 8 minutes. Following this, we regained composure and grew more into the game. We kicked 1-08 to Ballymac’s 3-04 to go in at half time two points in arrears.

In contrast to how we started the first half, we started the second half very brightly, kicking 1-02 to no score that put us back into the lead, both teams kicked a number of points however, unfortunately we conceded 2 goals in the last 15 minutes of the game handing back the advantage to Ballymac. We pressed hard for a goal to level up the scores but unfortunately Ballymac held out to win by 3 points – Spa 2-15 Ballymac 5-09. Our last game is away to Austin Stacks with date and time to be confirmed.

U12 Girls

Played our last U12 game away to Finuge/St Senans. Our girls played very well and very unlucky with some scores. At half time we were three points down. On resumption of the second half we started well but the home side pulled away to snatch victory.

Girls U14 Non Co League

Spa played ISG B at home last Saturday evening. An evenly matched game and we showed great skill and determination. This is a very young team and have improved with every outing. However, the visitors notched up a few goals and we couldn't narrow the margin.
