Underage Training 6-10 boys and girls continues as normal this Saturday.Spa under 12 boys played their last group game of phase 2 Division 3, away to Legion last Sunday, on very hot and sunny evening. The blues won their game, claiming top spot in division 3A. The golds drew their game, securing 2nd spot in division 3B. They only lost one game in both phases of their county games & that was by a single point. Plus they were under strength on the same night. The blues were unbeaten in all their games in both phases of the county league. The Coaches can't speak highly enough of these group of boys, their skill, determination, heart is unbelievable. Each & every boy is a credit to Spa GAA club & more importantly to their families. The Coaches would like to thank the families & friends of the boys for their great support, it got us through some tough games this year.

Ciaran Spillane replied with a Spa goal at the other end but Ardfert replied immediately when Bobby Regan rattled the net for a second Ardfert goal to make it 1-5 to 2-2 coming up on half time. Spa were attacking again shortly after but Evan Cronin's effort was well saved by Nicky Sullivan as points from Eoin Cronin and Mike O'Donoghue gave Spa the advantage at the break 1-7 to 2-2.Shane Cronin and John Egan swapped points before David Spillane made a long run through and scored Spa's second goal and Shane Cronin hit the back a minute later to stretch the Spa lead to 3-8 to 2-3.

Spa under 12 boys played their second game in phase 2 of the county league last Sunday week away to Listowel Emmet's. The 2 games were played to a very high standard, with both the blues & golds giving their best. The blues drew their game & the golds won their game. The coaches could not have asked for more from the boys. Both teams are still unbeaten in their county games this season. We will hope to continue this form with a home game against Ardfert this Sunday coming. Training again on Wednesday evening 6-7pm. Speedy recovery to Steven Wickhem who injured his hand.

Mike O'Donoghue kicked Spa's first point but Beaufort edged into a 0-4 to 0-1 lead after 10 minutes. Another point from Mike O'Donoghue and three great points from Evan Cronin levelled the game 0-5 apiece. More scores from Evan, Cormac Cronin, Mike O'Donoghue and Mike McCarthy gave Spa the lead at the break, 0-9 to 0-8. David Spillane extended that lead on the restart but a Beaufort goal, after a scramble in the small square, edged the visitors in front temporarily. Points from Mike McCarthy, Mike O'Donoghue (2) and Evan Cronin followed before David Spillane's first attack rolled across the Beaufort goalmouth and wide. Mike O'Donoghue pointed again before Spillane was on target with his second shot to move Spa ahead 1-15 to 1-10. Spa finished well with late points from Mike O'Donoghue (2) and Evan Cronin to win 1-18 to 1-11.Team: David Carroll, David Spillane (1-1), Matt Moynihan, Eoin Fitzgerald, Aydan Mulvaney, Shane Cronin, Shane Lynch, Michael McCarthy (0-2), Andrew Garnett, Eoin Cronin, Mike O'Donoghue (0-8), Cormac Cronin (0-1), Evan Cronin (0-6), Craig Hickey, Niall McCarthy.Subs: Ciarán Spillane, Eric O'Donoghue and Dara Moynihan.

44th Lily of Killarney 2017 -

Mary T Moynihan was crowned the 2017 Lily of Killarney in the Gleneagle. 2016 Lily of Killarney Eve O'Donoghue passed over the auspicious honour to Mary. Mary 24, is a hairdresser and also works in Jimmy Brien's as a bar tender. Once again this was a sold out event as one of the highlights in Killarney's social calendar. 29 Lilies participated but Mary ran out the eventual winner by judges Síle Seoige, Dawn Ryan (former Limerick Rose of Tralee), and Sean Neville. Síle Seoige was delighted to chair the judging and looks fantastic at 7 and half months pregnant. Mary received the Healy-Cronin perpetual Cup from Chairperson Geraldine O'Neill. Mary received fabulous prizes from generous sponsors. She received €500 from Con Stack and Tricel. She will also travel to London to the Killarney London Reunion for a 2 night break, sponsored by Noel O'Sullivan. Mike O'Leary presented Mary with an electrical gift. Flowers were presented by White Heather, Hair Hamper from Pat O'Neill Style Suite and a Beauty Hamper from Shear Beauty. Each Lily received a special glass commemorative trophy on the night. Thanks to main sponsors Killarney Credit Union and Media Sponsor Killarney Outlook Magazine. 

Jill Duggan of Killarney Toning and Beauty Studio also presented the Lilies with  a special beauty package for the night. It  was a brilliant night and once again the music was supplied by Celebration The Band. There was a  special treat for everyone when our All Ireland Scor na nÓg set dancers performed for the packed house. Ray O'Sullivan was a very entertaining MC on the night. The escorts on the night were gentlemen Dara Moynihan, Evan Cronin,Dan O'Donoghue, Hugh O'Donoghue, Niall O'Mahony and Paul Mahoney and were excellent at this task. The Spa Ladies Committee once again pulled off a great night chaired by Geraldine O'Neill, Sheila Curtin (Vice Chairperson), Margaruite Brosnan, Marie O'Keeffe, Sheila Cronin, Denise Gleeson, Breda Hickey, Claire O'Mahony and Louise O'Sullivan, and deserve a huge bula bos for their hard work.

On the resumption the physically bigger South Kerry lads began to take some great long distance scores. However some fantastic defending Bailey O’Sullivan and phenomenal work rate by Timmy Moynihan kept the Spa lads in touch.
