Flag Day for Spa Coiste na nÓg

Spa are holding a Flag Day on Saturday the 13th of April in aid of our Coiste na nÓg (underage section of the club). This is one of our club's most successful fundraisers, but it wouldn’t be a success without volunteers. We NEED your support. All we ask is for an hour and a half of your time to allow us the opportunity to raise the funds necessary to support the development of our young players.

Please contact Seamus Moynihan (Spa Coiste na nÓg Chairperson) on 087 629 8525 to arrange a time that best suits you. We appreciate your support.

Ladies Football

U12 Girls

Played their second game at home in the preliminary round. Lost out to a stronger Southern Gaels side.

U14 Girls

Our first U14 girls game of the season against Ballymcelligott B took place on Saturday.  We travelled to Ballymac for a 11-a-side game with a 3.30pm throw-in. At half time Spa was in the lead, but in the second half a strong fit Ballymac side dominated play.

Final score: Ballymac B 3-5 to Spa 2-5.

Every girl gave it their all, with particular praise to Rebecca McCarthy and Aoife O'Donoghue in midfield and Dani Tangney Kissane and Emer O'Keeffe in defence. Player of the match goes to Lucy Brosnan for her fantastic saves that kept us in the game. Coaches Emma & Tomas Daly and Susan & Rory Waters were delighted with their performances in their first game .
