U14 LADIES CO LEAGUE DIVISION 5, ROUND 1
Spa U14’s hosted Inbhear Sceine Geals ‘b’ last Friday evening. It was their first outing this year and for a few girls their first time playing a match on a full size pitch. Spa were slow to start and at the first quarter Spa were down 2 points to 1-3 but then the girls really found their stride and were a point ahead by half time with a score of 3-5 to 3-4. 

A big thank you to the u12 girls that helped us out on the day and contributed greatly. It was a very close and exciting game until the final quarter when the Spa girls started to tire and due to injury were down to 14 players for a lot of the second half and Spa suffered as a result. ISG ‘b’ came away the victors with a final score 4-5 to 8-11. 

Scorers for Spa were: Ciara O’Sullivan 1-01; Clodagh O’Connor 1-0; Ava Brosnan 1-03; Kirsten Kenny 1-01
