CO LEAGUE RD2 DIVISION 1A SPA 2-10 AUSTIN STACKS 1-13
Spa hosted Austin Stacks on Saturday evening in Rd 2 of the Co League and this is certainly one that can be described as a game of two halves. Although Stacks had worked up a comfortable 12-point lead during the first half, a spirited second half comeback from Spa made for a frantic final few minutes. Spa will be away to John Mitchels on July 3rd/4th in the next round.

Full match report available here

CO LEAGUE RD2 DIVISION 6C SPA 0-10 DESMONDS 3-11
Our senior B team travelled to Castleisland on Sunday afternoon. Three first half goals had Spa chasing the game all through, and at the break we were trailing by 0-6 to 3-4. Desmonds never relinquished their lead and won out well in the end. Our B team will be home to Dingle B on the weekend of July 3rd/4th in the next round of the league.

MINOR CO LEAGUE SPA 3-9 ST SENANS 3-6
Our minors welcomed St Senans last week and the sides were closely matched throughout. At the half time break the visitors were leading by 3-3 to 2-4 but a solid second half edged Spa in front and they held on to win by three points.

U15 CO LEAGUE SPA 5-8 ARDFERT 3-10
Our U15’s made the tough trip to Ardfert Wednesday evening for a very entertaining encounter with two strong teams. Thanks to our hosts for a very enjoyable and sporting game. Our lads keep answering the questioned being asked of them while missing some key players, next up for the U15’s Is our first home game of the season against Listowel Emmets.

 

U14 GIRLS SPA 4-10 CURROW 7-7
Spa U14 girls were away to Currow this week. Spa were slow to start and unfortunately were 5 goals down very early on in the game. Eventually Ciara O’Donoghue got the opening score for Spa and that seemed to settle them a bit.

The second quarter was a much more even affair and Spa shone in the second half with much needed goals from Angelina Kenny and Lara O’Neill and showed incredible spirit to eventually bring Spa back to within one score. But the deficit proved too much for Spa and despite being just one goal down with a minute to go the game ended with Currow as the victors. Currow 7-7 to Spa 4-10. Scorers for Spa were Angelina Kenny (2-1) Lara O’Neill (2-0) Saoirse Moriarty (0-7) Ciara O’Donoghue (0-2). Spa have a bye next week.

 

JUVENILE GIRLS ENJOY A DAY OUT IN THE NATIONAL PARK
Our u8 u10 and U12 girls had a wonderful day out in our beautiful Killarney on Saturday. Started the morning with a boat trip on the lakes, followed by a walk through the national park and ended with a picnic. Thanks to all the coaches especially Johnny Brosnan who organised this event. By all accounts everyone had a great time. Well done to all involved.

Meanwhile, U16 coach Susan Waters along with Claire Tangney took Spa u16 girls on a day to remember. Setting off at 10am from Ross Castle they throughly enjoyed the beautiful boat trip up through the lakes getting all the local history from boatman Donal Jnr of Gap of Dunloe Traditional Boat Tours. Next a quick pit stop at Lord Brandons Cottage to refuel with hot chocolates and chats (having bumped into loads of Spa members). The girls struck off on their 14km hike from Lord Brandons, up the Old Kenmare Road and down Torc waterfall... finishing up back at Ross Castle with pizza. It was a great day and Susan was so proud of how the girls represented Spa Club on the day.

CONGRATULATIONS
