This game was played in Lewis Rd on Tuesday evening. Cian Tobin and Niall McCarthy (3) kicked early scores and ten minutes in the sides were level at 0-4 apiece. Shortly after, a great passing move was finished to the net by Niall McCarthy for the first goal.

EK Minor League Rd 2: Spa 7-14 Currow 6-15

An incredibly high scoring game. The first half had some excellent scoring and by half time the scoreboard was already showing signs of a great game, with Spa trailing 3-8 to 4-11 at the break. The Spa goals in the first half came from Ryan Kelliher, Oisin Walsh and Michael Horgan.

Both sides kicked early goals at the start of the second half, Cian Murphy with the Spa goal, and we soon trailed 4-9 to 5-13. A strong last quarter and more outstanding scores on both sides and Spa were catching up, with just a point between the teams after Oisin Walsh finished two more shots to the back of the net, making it 6-10 to 5-14. Michael Kearney netted the seventh Spa goal and in the end they ran out two point winners on an incredible scoreline of 7-14 to 6-15.

Spa team: Ollie Cremin, Connie Cremin, Conor Brosnan, Thomas Cronin, Michael Kearney, Calum Neher, Liam Spillane, Ryan Kelliher, Michael Horgan, Cian Murphy, Oisín Walsh, Alan O’Sullivan, Roiri O’Connor. Subs: Keith Myers, Donagh Fahy.
