EK MINOR LEAGUE V BEAUFORT
Spa welcomed Beaufort on Monday evening in round 4 of the East Kerry Minor League. The evening began with a minute silence for Beaufort player Thomas Healy RIP. It was a game of goals and goal chances right from the start. Beaufort were first to find the net at the very start of the game before Spa finished 3 shots to the back of the goal at the other end. By the first half water break Spa were leading 3-3 to 1-1. More goals followed for both sides shortly after the game resumed, and by half time Spa were leading by double scores at 4-4 to 2-2.
Beaufort were consistently on the attack in the third quarter and kept the Spa defence under pressure the whole time, and by the second half water break the gap was reduced to just three points, Spa still ahead at 4-7 to 4-4. Spa finished the game well and held on for the win after adding 1-3 in the final few minutes. Final score Spa 5-10 Beaufort 4-5.
Spa: Emmett Spillane, Chris Healy, Rian O'Neill, Aaron O'Connor, David O'Sullivan, Danny Coffey, Stephen Wickham, Donagh Fahy, Oran O'Neill, Timothy Moynihan, Oran Daly, Kalvin O'Sullivan, Luke O'Neill, Ryan McCarthy, Cormac Walsh
U14 GIRLS V ISG B
Our U14 Spa girls welcomed ISG b Sunday evening. It was an absolute scorcher of a day and the heat definitely played it’s part. ISG b started the stronger and took a strong lead by half time but Spa dug deep and fought back bravely and held ISG b scoreless for the third quarter.
Spa were missing a few players so some u12 and u10 players stepped up to the plate and they displayed great skill and were an immense help to our u14 girls.
Spa were matching their opponents in the second half and despite the intense heat played at a very high intensity but the gap was too far to bridge and ISG b won comfortably in the end.
Final score was Spa 2-5 ISG b 8-7
Scorers for Spa were Angelina Kenny (1-3) Kirsten Kenny (1-0) Aoife O’Connell (0-1) Lara O’Neill (0-1). A special mention and a big thank you has to go to the u12 girls Aoife O’Sullivan, Kirsten Kenny, Laura Griffin and u10’s Ava Brosnan, well done girls. Spa’s next outing is away to St. Senans/ Finuge .Sat 31st July.
