ABC Fun Club continues this Saturday 11.30-12.15 in our fabulous indoor hall. New members very welcome as this is free to everyone 3-5 year olds. Underage Training 6-10 boys and girls continues as normal this Saturday.Spa under 12 boys played their last group game of phase 2 Division 3, away to Legion last Sunday, on very hot and sunny evening. The blues won their game, claiming top spot in division 3A. The golds drew their game, securing 2nd spot in division 3B. They only lost one game in both phases of their county games & that was by a single point. Plus they were under strength on the same night. The blues were unbeaten in all their games in both phases of the county league. The Coaches can't speak highly enough of these group of boys, their skill, determination, heart is unbelievable. Each & every boy is a credit to Spa GAA club & more importantly to their families. The Coaches would like to thank the families & friends of the boys for their great support, it got us through some tough games this year.
