Minor Co. League Round 1
Spa 6-14, Skellig/Valentia 3-9
Spa travelled to Valentia on Saturday afternoon and - despite the heavy rain and gale force winds - this turned out to be a very high-scoring game. Skellig/Valentia played with the wind in the opening half and at half-time the sides were nearly level, Spa 4-4 and Skellig/Valentia 3-7. Aided by the breeze for the second half Spa took some great scores and won out by 6-14 to 3-9.
