Club Notes (May 6th 2019)
Senior Ladies Co League Div 2: Spa 0-14 Finuge/St.Senans 1-5
The ladies finally started their league campaign with a great win at home to Finuge-St Senans. Gina Crowley played a captain's role in defence and was instrumental with the set up of great scores from Mags Cronin, Kerry Holland, Niamh Kearney, Elizabeth Stack and Mairead Bennett. A great team effort from everyone. Management Mike Brosnan and Tom Tobin will be delighted with the win.
U14 Boys: Spa v Dr Crokes
Spa Team: Emmet Spillane, Cian Russell, Chris Healy, Donal Hickey, Oran O’Neill, Danny Coffey, Mark O’Leary, Luke O’Neill, Timmy Moynihan, Shane O’Sullivan, Oran Daly, Kalvin O’Sullivan, Aidan Cronin, Cormac Walsh, David O’Sullivan, Aaron O’Connor, Stephen Wickham, Mark Daly and Cathal Mackey. Played the last round of division 2 at home. We started very strong but unfortunately Dr Crokes pulled off some great scores and we were chasing throughout the whole game. The dedication and never give up. Attitude must be acknowledged by our young team.
U12 Boys Spa v Cromane
Spa kept their unbeaten record in the last round of the county league with a great display of skill from our young members. Cromane tried hard but we had the edge on them throughout the game. We look forward to phase two of the next county league.
U12 Girls: Spa v Castlegregory
Spa u12 girls met Castlegregory in Spa and what a brilliant contest it turned out to be. It was a very fast free flowing game filled with great skill and some fine kicking. It was neck and neck throughout. Saoirse Moriarty, Lara O’Neill and Ciara O’Donoghue scoring in the first half to bring the scoreline to 1-2 to 1-3 in favour of the visitors. Ciara added to the scoreline again in the second half as did Casey Mulry and Aoife O’Connell.
It was edge of the seat stuff right to the final whistle for Spa to be beaten by just one point. The Spa girls should be very proud of their performance and I know they will come back stronger from this. Huge congratulations to Castlegregory for a fine victory in a thrilling game, well done.
