Spa U-10 Boys: Dr Crokes are hosting U-10 Go Games blitzes on Thursday June 4th, 11th, 18th & 25th. Teams participating are Dr Crokes, Spa, Firies & Kilcummin. U-12 Boys Spa played a very strong U 12 team at home on Sunday evening. Played in testing conditions the game was nip and tuck with the visitors winning by 2 points at half time. In the 2nd half Spa led by the charismatic Bailey O’Sullivan fought back. This was a total ding dong affair with great work also being done by Jack O’Sullivan. However it was not to be as Glenbeigh held on at the end with a 5-07 to 4-08 scoreline.

Junior Co League
Spa 4-12 Listowel 0-8 This was a game with Brothers-in Arms David and Jamie Spillane leading the team registering majority of the scores. First half it was a closely contested game with half time score 1-4 to Listowels 0-7 pts. Fergal O'Donoghue and Alfie Giles helped Spa with a great win. The visitors only scored one point in the 2nd half with excellent defending by Brian Lynch, Conor Cronin and the ever young Paul Russell who's excellent fielding was very impressive on the night. Midfield was orchestrated by Jamie Spillane and Conor Kearney. Up front David Spillane finished excellent passes from his older sibling. Fergal O'Donoghue, Corey Doyle and Conor O'Callaghan all helped set up excellent scoring chances. Welcome back Conan Walsh after a long absence.
