As well as two days of 7s football, there will be a kids play area open until 6pm each day, a food court serving hot & cold food all day and live music in the Heineken Tent from 12noon on both days.
Limited parking available and there will be a free shuttle service every hour (starting at 12noon) from the Friary to the clubhouse.

Looking forward to another great weekend in Spa and a massive thank you to the committee, volunteers, neighbours and local community who make this possible.
KERRY SOUTH U15 V KILDARE
Well done to coach Eoin Fitzgerald and players Tadhg O'Donoghue, Jonah Casey & Daithi Stack who played for the Kerry South u15s against Kildare in Hawkfield Centre of Excellence on Saturday morning. It was a tight game with Kildare just coming out on top 2-15 to 4-6.
A great experience for our young lads, well done.
SPA U7S
Spa U7s had our first home Go Game of the season last Tuesday. An enjoyable evening with excellent matches played in great spirit against Glenflesk. Well done to all our young players who turned out.
SPA U12 GIRLS
Well done to Spa ladies U12 teams who travelled to Killorglin last week. They showed great skill and heart in their games against Laune Rangers. They are going from strength to strength. Well done girls.
U13 BOYS
Hard luck to our u13 boys who were home to Skellig Rangers on Sunday evening. They played outstanding football but lost out 3-4 to 1-5.
CO LEAGUE DIVISION 6 SHIELD Spa 1-3 Kilcummin 3-8
Our Senior B team welcomed Kilcummin on Sunday evening for Rd4 of the Co League Division 6 Shield competition, where Kilcummin ran out winners on the night.
Spa panel: Jack O’Sullivan, Diarmuid Cahill, Paudie O’Donoghue, Danny Coffey, Aaron O’Connor, Donal Hickey, Matt McAuliffe, Connie Cremin, Eoin O’Riordan, Matt Lane, Donagh Fahy, Alan O’Sullivan, Emmett Spillane, Conor Kerins, Michael Horgan, Mikey Aherne.
CO LEAGUE RD 8 SPA 2-9 MILLTOWN/CASTLEMAINE 2-8
Spa travelled to Milltown/Castlemaine on Sunday afternoon for Rd8 of the Credit Union County League and, despite trailing for much of the game, Spa came out on top with a one point victory.
Four goals in the second half at crucial moments, two for Milltown/Castlemaine at the start of the half and two for Spa at the end of the half, were major turning points in the game with both sides having opportunities to take the win. This result gives us two more much-needed points as just three rounds remain in the county league.
Congrats to our team and management on their victory.
