U15 EAST REGION LEAGUE
Our young blues welcomed close neighbours Kilcummin to Spa last Wednesday needing to get a result after a hard loss last week to Keel / Listry. The lads got off to a great start getting an early goal and this set the tempo for the night. A combination of hard work and some excellent football from both sides made for highly entertaining game of football. Our boys eventually ran out winners on the night on a score of 4-12 to 1-10. Thanks to Kilcummin for a very sporting game, next for this group is an away game with Killarney Legion next Wednesday.
