🔵🟡 Match Report 🔵🟡

Our U-12 Girls first team travelled to Farranfore to play Firies in round 4 - Group 3 of the South Kerry League on Thursday 15th April.

Similar to our previous week’s game, we got off to a slow start with Firies winning a lot of the 50/50 duals. A strong cross wind was blowing towards Tralee direction (common enough occurrence for anyone who has flown into or out of Kerry Airport) which was of no advantage to either side really. Our girls finally got to grips with things in the latter stages of the second quarter and went in at the break behind by just the slenderest of margins Spa 2-02 Firies 2-03. The second half was a very topsy turvy affair with plenty of possession, lovely skills & determination displayed by both teams. Thankfully our girls outscored their opponent 1-03 to 0-03 points in the second half to take the spoils on the night on a score of Spa 3-05 to Firies 2-06. But for a few wayward scoring chances by Firies and a last-minute goal-line save by Maura Joy, the result could have been much different. In summary either side would have been deserved winners on the night and we just scraped through. Many thanks to Firies for a very sporting affair and enjoyable game.

Well done Julia, Alana, Ailbhe, Sam, Lily o Shea, Meadbh, Sheolagh, Aoife, Lily o Leary, Ava, Nikki, Jodi, Maura, Leah, Aisling & Orlaith.

Spa Abu 💙💛
