Spa GAA Club hosted a Coffee Morning in aid of the Irish Cancer Society last Saturday and the response from the local community was phenomenal. This is the first time the club have hosted an event like this, and on the day an incredible €2,500 was raised towards the Irish Cancer Society’s work in the southwest.
Elaine Moynihan approached the club with the idea a few weeks ago and put together a committee of Health & Wellbeing Officer Margaret Doyle, PRO Deirdre O'Sullivan Darcy and Yvonne Jordan to plan the event.
Unfortunately, there are so many homes affected by this, so the idea was to do something to give back to the wonderful staff and the centres that care for patients 24/7 during their treatment.
The club opened its doors to the community, and in addition to the Coffee Morning in the main hall, they also set up a children’s playroom and a TV room to make sure the visitors had a chance to watch the big rugby match too. A number of businesses in both the Kerry and Cork region got on board to sponsor the event and many people brought along some delicious home baking and treats on the morning.
Many thanks to our sponsors – Paddy & Noel’s Catering; Lee Strand; Kerry Green Homemade Jam; Tesco Killarney; Value Centre Killarney; Maggie’s Montessori; Artist Phil O’Grady; Salon B; Eccles Hotel, Glengarriff; West Cork Hotel, Skibbereen; Mike & Catherine Duggan; Crag Caves; Mills Inn Ballyvourney; MF Dineen & Co Ltd; Caraway Catering; O’Sullivan’s Bakery and Killarney Medical Centre.
On behalf on the organisers, we want to say a big thank you to everyone that was part of our Coffee Morning - to all our sponsors and those who baked or gave prizes for the raffle, all those who donated and supported the event, to all our helpers who made it happen and to everyone who came along!
Our U8s training schedule also came to a close on Saturday morning and Dara Moynihan and Liam Kearney were on hand on the day to give medals to all participants. Well done to all the coaches, players and parents for another great year.
ABC, U6 & U8 End of Year Medal Presentation
Our ABC, U6 and U8 groups held their last training of the year on Saturday morning and some of our senior players were in attendance on the morning and helped in handing out medals to all participants. Well done to all!

U10 End of Year Blitz
Our U10’s had their last outing of the year last Saturday. We played Dr. Crokes and John Mitchels in Lewis Road. We put out 2 very even teams as did Dr Crokes and Mitchels. All teams played 4 games and there was great skill and determination shown in all games.
We would like to thank John O’Shea of Dr Crokes for inviting us in and hosting a great morning of football. Also, as a lot of these boys are moving up to U12 next year, we would like to thank each and every one of them for the huge amount of effort they put in at training all year and we wish them all the best for next year.
