Starting strong Spa burst out of the blocks and tagged on some very good scores. HT Spa 1-9 Kilcummin 0-2. Spa again started the second half well and hit the back of the Kilcummin net early in the half. To their credit our hosts kept battling and reduced the arrears with two fine goals of their own. FT. Spa 2-20 Killcummin 2-07.

Thanks to Kilcummin for very sporting game and for all the parents for the support on the night.
