The Spa Senior Ladies turned out for the Final of the Donal Curtin Cup on Wednesday 27th July in Fitzgerald Stadium.

Playing conditions were good. This was always going to be one of our toughest games to date but the Spa Ladies knew what was ahead of them and were ready for the challenge.

The Spa Ladies settled into their game after 15 minutes and scored 4 points before the half time whistle. Score at half time Crokes 0-6 to Spa 0-4.

The game changed completely in the second half and Spa displayed fantastic team effort and played great attacking football to lead the game by a point. Crokes responded quickly and put the ball over the bar to equalise the game 5 mins before the final whistle.

Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be for the Spa Senior Ladies when shortly before the final whistle was blown Crokes scored the winning point. Final score Spa 1-5 to Crokes 0-9. Congratulations to Dr Crokes on their win.

Although disappointing, it was great to see such improvement since the start of the competition and to see the Spa Senior Ladies panel getting stronger with returning and new players. Up next for the ladies is Junior Championship later this month.
