Club Notes (October 3rd 2022)

U15 EAST KERRY CHAMPIONSHIP 
Our U15’s travelled to Glenflesk last week for the first round of the East Kerry Championship and an early throw in @ 10:30. Our boys started slow and Glenflesk raced into a six point lead early thanks to two well taken goals. Spa grew into the half and tacked on a few scores of their own ending the half 4 points behind. HT Spa 0-5 Glenflesk 2-3.

The second started with a good Glenflesk point but from then on Spa took over, and began to eat into the glenflesk lead. Only for some poor finishing from our lads , they would have drawn level sooner however they got their noses in front with 5 minutes to go and the game finished with a spa win by the slenderest of margins. FT: Glenflesk 2-4 Spa 0-11.

Next up for this group is a home game v Dr. Crokes. Thanks to Glenflesk for a tough, fair game and best of luck in the next round .
