45 Years  of the 31 Card Championship Of Kerry

Welcome news for the 31 fraternity of Spa  and East Kerry is that this season's championship is now in full swings with sessions being played at various venues around the district. This annual event was initiated way back in 1972 as part of the Spa GAA Social Initiative. This has also proved to be a  valuable fundraiser for the club. In those early years weekly sessions were played both in the Ryan Hotel and later The Castle Heights, which combined both a card  game and  set dancing session which attracted card players and dancers from all over the county. Indeed it is on record that romances often blossomed during those heady nights including one Spa  long serving member who was introduced to his life partner on one such occasion and who celebrates a special birthday this week. Cards are still  available from committee members Dave Herlihy, Paddy B Lynch, Paddy O'Keeffe and Johnny Cronin.
