SPA SENIOR LADIES
Spa Senior Ladies had a great win against Inbhear Sceine Gaels on Sunday May 8th in Spa GAA.
The Spa Ladies had a big panel of players on the day and it proved there is strength in numbers as they powered into the game from the start. Spa played some really good attacking football moving the ball forward at speed and creating space as a result. Spa had a comfortable lead at half time. There was always going to be a fight back from ISG and they did with 2 rapid goals. There was a very positive reaction from all the Spa players as they worked really hard as a team with great encouragement and support for each other resulting in Spa regaining control of the game and finishing very strong. Final score Spa 3-14 ISG 3-7. Spa play Milltown/Keel/Listry in Listry in the next round.
