Club Notes (April 8th 2019)
U12 Co League Rd 1 Spa v Castleisland Desmonds
Our 2019 season got off to a fantastic start with a fine win away to Castleisland Desmonds. Our boys put on a fine display of skills & kicking ability & raced into an early lead scoring 4 points either side of a goal without reply in the opening 10 mins. Aided by a nice spring breeze & the traveling support, the boys finished the first half with a flurry of points and a commanding lead. Castleisland worked hard to try and get back into the game, but it just wasn’t their night. A couple of 2nd half goals by our boys gave us a comfortable margin in the end.
Flag Day for Spa Coiste na nÓg
Spa are holding a Flag Day this Saturday April 13th 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.
