EPS WATER SPONSORS NEW FOOTBALLS FOR OUR U8S

On Saturday morning, our U8s received a new football each from sponsor EPS Water (www.epswater.ie). The U8 coaches were joined by Spa and Kerry players Dara Moynihan and Liam Kearney to hand out the footballs at this week’s Academy. Our thanks to Paul Cremin and Company Manager John Lynch for their sponsorship. EPS Water is located in Mallow and Mr Lynch is originally from Tralee but now lives in Cork.

AWARDS NIGHT CHEQUE PRESENTATION 

Members of the Spa Awards Night committee made a presentation recently to the Killarney/South Kerry Branch of the Irish Cancer Society. A total of €610 was collected at the raffle at the club Awards Night in February. Andrew Garnett and Adrian O’Sullivan met with charity representatives Kathrina Breen and Eleanor O Doherty who were on hand to collect the cheque. This is a very worthy charity and it was their second donation from Spa, as Elaine Moynihan organised a Coffee Morning at the clubhouse last October.
