SENIOR LADIES INTERMEDIATE CHAMPIONSHIP SPA V ISG
Spa Senior ladies continued their winning streak against Inbhear Sceine Gaels when they travelled to Templenoe. A tough opponent resulting with them receiving two yellow cards one in each half for the sin bin. Spa started very strong with half forward Niamh Kearney burying a great goal in the first few seconds of the game. Spa refused to let them settle and this resulted with the opposition in giving away silly frees with Niamh only too delighted to score each time. The forward line of Kearney, Jones and Fleming were causing all sorts of problems for their backs and slotted over great scores. Young Mairead Bennett was outstanding as wing half back and pushed up scoring a point. Their full forward line replied with three points, but the gap was still too wide going into half time with Spa leading 1-8 to ISG 0-3.

Second half Spa started well with Mags Cronin claiming the first score of the half. This was shortly followed by Saoirse Kelly and Lynn Jones. In fact, it was all Spa for the 3rd quarter with great scores from the forward line scoring 2-4 without reply. Pressure was on the home side, but Spa kept up their intensity with super sub Grainne Spillane scoring a beaut of a goal seconds after being introduced. Inbhear Sceine Gaels added another two points, but the deficit was too much to make any impact on the final result. Final whistle a third win in a row for Spa 4-16 to 0-5.

Last round of the championship finds our senior team away to Scartaglin. This is vital as both teams on same points and winner claims a place in the semi final.

Spa: Linda Bruggener, Elisabeth Stack, Ciara Moynihan 0-1, Aisling Mahony, Gina Crowley, Katie O Brien, Mairead Bennett (0-2), Loreta Maher, Cassandra Buckley, Mags Cronin (1-0), Niamh Kearney (1-3), Liadh Tobin, Lynn Jones (0-3), Saoirse Kelly (0-3) and Karol Fleming (1-2): Subs: Katie O Connor, Alma O Mahony, Orlaith Spillane, Grainne Spillane 1-1, Lisa Sheehan 0-1 and Elena O Donoghue.

U16 CO LEAGUE PHASE 2 ROUND 1
Spa u16's played their first game in phase 2 of the county league on Tuesday evening. They were away to Laune Rangers (B). The game was high scoring with a lot of fast flowing football.  The boys got into an early lead and stayed ahead with some nicely taken points. Luke O’Neill chipped in with a hatrick of goals and helped by 2 goals by Aaron O’Connor. Oran Daly started & finished the move of the game, which started with him collecting the ball in midfield & slotting the ball between the posts. Donal Hickey was outstanding in the corner back position, collecting & winning a lot of ball. Christopher Healy was solid in the back line also.
