U-14 BoysSpa played a very strong Fossa U-16 team away last Monday evening in this East Kerry League Semi Final. The home team mastered the conditions early on running into a commanding lead of 2-13 to 1-06 leaving the boys in blue plenty to do. Dara O’Leary then took complete control of the game working tirelessly around the middle third setting up score after score for his inside forwards. Eventually time ran out and Spa finished agonisingly short on a Final Score of 2-14 to 2-13. We wish Fossa the best of luck in the final.U-16 BoysSpa played a very strong Fossa U-16 team away last Monday evening in this East Kerry League Semi Final.

Played in Rathmore, Conor Gleeson opened the scoring with a point before Paul Cahill's shot hit the back of the net for Spa's first goal.

At half time, Spa led 1-1 to 0-3.

St Michael’s extended their lead again to 4 points but Mulvaney struck again for another goal to reduce the margin to just one. Spa started the brightest in the second half but two quick goals from our opponents killed off any chance of Spa winning this match. Spa kept going to end with great performances from Rian O’Neill, Timothy Moynihan and Eoghan Mulvaney.

Intermediate Championship

Spa 1-12 Castleisland Desmonds 5-16A disappointing result for our seniors on Sunday as they were outplayed by a strong Desmonds side. Despite trailing by 1-7 to 0-4 early in the game they came back well to put just a point between the sides by half time 1-8 to 1-9.

Spa played Kenmare in a keenly fought battle at home. Spa took an early lead but the visitors scored a fortuitous goal to take the initiative, before Ryan Kelliher crashed home a cracker to leave the sides level at 1-5 each at half time. The second half was a ding-a-ling affair until Conor Stack who was a colossus at full back had to retire with a serious injury 15 minutes from  the end. Despite powerful performances by Tom Fleming, Gary Vaughan and Niall McCarthy the Spa challenge faltered afterwards and Kenmare won out 4-12 and 2-10.

Senior Co League: Spa 4-18 Listowel Emmets 2-11

Played in Frank Sheehy Park in Listowel, Spa had the better start with opening scores from Evan Cronin (2), Michael Foley and Shane Cronin. Listowel shortly drew level before Craig Hickey had 1-1 on the board, the goal following on from a long pass in from Dara Moynihan. James Devane had two brilliant saves in goal before Evan Cronin and Michael Foley extended the Spa lead. At half time Spa led 1-7 to 0-7. Shane Cronin pointed on the restart before Listowel slotted home a dubious penalty to make it 1-8 to 1-7 after just 4 minutes. Dara and Craig kicked over two more but they were quickly cancelled out again by Listowel. Spa then hit a purple patch, notching up 3-5 in just 10 minutes, the hat-trick from Evan Cronin and points from Craig Hickey (2), Aydan Mulvaney, Evan Cronin and Shane Cronin, while James Devane had another great block in front of goal. Michael Foley, Dara Moynihan and Liam Kearney points closed out the game.
