CO LEAGUE RD5 DIV1A SPA 3-10 DR CROKES 2-13
Both teams went in to this derby knowing that a win would put them in top spot of Division 1A and qualify for the league final. It was an exciting contest from start to finish, and with Spa hampered with a number of injuries later in the game, Dr Crokes dominated the final few minutes to pull off a draw. Wishing a speedy recovery to all our injured players.

EAST KERRY MINOR LEAGUE SPA V CURROW
Well done to our minor team and management who won their round 4 clash with Currow last Monday in the final game of the group stages of the East Kerry Minor League. It was close at the first water break with Spa narrowly ahead at 1-3 to 1-2, but a strong second quarter had extended that lead to 3-6 to 1-2 at the half time break. They had a solid second half performance, adding another three goals, to win out by 6-13 to 3-6 on the night.
Well done to the team and management. They are now through to the Division 3 Final against Gneeveguilla.
