THANK YOU TO THE COUNTY CLEAN UP VOLUNTEERS
Thank you to all the volunteers from Spa GAA club who joined the Lissivigeen & Tiernaboul local community groups for the annual KWD County Clean Up last Saturday morning.
NATIONAL LEAGUES
It was a good weekend for Kerry GAA with the football, hurling and ladies teams all in action on Sunday afternoon. The Kerry hurlers had a good win at home to Meath by 1-24 to 0-24, a great second half performance earned the Kerry footballers a draw with rivals Dublin on a score of 1-18 to 4-9 and the Kerry Ladies had a 3-10 to 1-10 win away to Meath. Well done to all teams and managements, especially Spa’s Dara Moynihan, Liam Kearney, Niamh Kearney and Cassandra Buckley.
This Sunday May 30th in the next round of the National Leagues the Kerry Ladies are home to Clare at 2pm while the Kerry footballers are away to Roscommon at 3.45pm. Best of luck to all.

SPA TO RECEIVE €26,261 IN LEADER FUNDING
Our thanks to the LEADER programme and the SKDP who have allocated a grant of €26,261 to Spa GAA club towards the new walking track. Plans for a club walking track have been ongoing since we signed up for the Ireland Lights Up winter walking initiative in early 2019. Work on the track, which is looped path approximately 1km long, has begun and is hoped to be completed in the coming weeks.
For the past 30 years LEADER funding has helped rural communities across the EU through community-led local development. We are immensely grateful to both LEADER and the local South Kerry Development Partnership for this grant towards the completion of the track.
We are looking forward to welcoming the local community to the club grounds to enjoy the benefits of the completed track.
Special mention of appreciation to the Spa field committee who have done tremendous work all along with our CE Scheme workers in maintaining the property and working in all weathers to keep our fields and grounds in such good condition.
