U-12 Co. League Div 1: Phase 2 Round 2
Spa v An Ghaeltacht
U12 Boys A Team
Round 2 of our Division 1 County League took place in the evening sunshine in Spa against a very formidable An Gaeltacht side last Sunday evening.
The game got off to a blistering start with a goal apiece inside the first 5 minutes. Following this, both sides traded points for much of the remainder of the half. There were some fabulous passages of play, defensive skill and attacking guile on display by both sides, but a scoring burst which included two goals just before half time gave our boys an advantage going in at the break leading 3-07 to 2-04.
Having played against the breeze in the first half, An Gaeltacht started the second half strongly aided by a strong breeze blowing up from the town end of the pitch. They scored 2-06 in total in the second half, however our boys defended stoutly and were not found wanting in attack either and kicked 2-03 ourselves against the breeze to record a great win with final score of 5-10 to 4-11.
U12 Boys B Team
On Sunday evening our U12 B team put up a great battle with An Gaeltacht. Playing against a strong breeze in the first half, Spa did very well to go in only 2 points down at half time. In the second half Spa came out fighting and levelled things up with 10 minutes to go. However, An Gaeltacht proved too strong in the end and the game finished 4-04 to 2-06. It was a great performance by Spa considering most of the team is made up from our U10's.
Next up is Rathmore away on Sunday June 2nd at 6pm.
