Get Well Wishes

The club wish a speedy recovery to Spa player David Moynihan who is recuperating at the moment after a recent accident.

U11 B Team

Our U11 B team played at home last Wednesday night to a stronger Firies team. Fought hard and notched up some great scores. Unfortunately, not our night.

U8 Blitz with St Finbarrs, Cork

Our u8 boys and girls enjoyed the experience of playing St Finbarrs, Cork in a series of fun challenge games in Spa last Saturday. The dedicated coaches did a tremendous job in organizing the event. Thanks to the parents who helped out on the day with the party afterwards. Special mention to our younger members who refereed the fun games. There’s a family link with this Cork club, as Chairman Michael Cronin's grandchildren Liadh and Conor Sheehan play football with this age group. He certainly enjoyed the opportunity to watch his family play against his own beloved Spa Club members. A great day was had by all and both teams enjoyed the day.
