U-14 BoysSpa played a very strong Fossa U-16 team away last Monday evening in this East Kerry League Semi Final. The home team mastered the conditions early on running into a commanding lead of 2-13 to 1-06 leaving the boys in blue plenty to do. Dara O’Leary then took complete control of the game working tirelessly around the middle third setting up score after score for his inside forwards. Eventually time ran out and Spa finished agonisingly short on a Final Score of 2-14 to 2-13. We wish Fossa the best of luck in the final.
