U16 Co League Rd 1: Spa - 5-13 Gneeveguilla 3-12

Spa U16's played their first county league game against Gneeveguilla in a sunny Spa on Monday the 20th of July. With injuries to a few key players, a few players from the U14's were brought into the squad. Danny Coffey, Emmet Spillane, Aiden Cronin all played well. Emmet came away with 1-01.

The game was a close affair, where Evan O’Neill, Christopher Healy, Donal Hickey & Timmy Moynihan (1-04) all played well. Midfield was nip & tuck with both Luke O’Neill (0-01) & Donagh Fahy (2-05) playing fine games.

The forwards with Kalvin O Sullivan (0-02) from play & Steven Wickham, Aron O’Connor & Cormac Walsh's constant running off the ball & positioning for the kickouts was immense. Rian O’Neill's (1-00) introduction at half time was a perfect boost for the lads in the second half, his constant running from the half back line showed when he chipped in with a goal.

Not forgetting our goalkeeper Jack Sullivan, who gave a very impressive performance with some vital saves and some fine kick outs.

All in all a good start to the campaign. Special mention to Oran Daly, David Sullivan & Oran O’Neill who are currently out injured at the moment.

Overall a great effort by both teams.

Next outing is away to Currow Monday 27th July at 7pm.
