SPA CLUB NOTES 28th April 2014 Coiste na nOg Spa U14 boys Spa played Beaufort away in a highly entertaining game on Wednesday evening. Despite having the lions share of possession Spa conceded 4-1 without reply. Ryan Kelliher then stood up and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck by scoring 2 cracking goals in quick succession following a Sean Cahill 3 pointer. Now the game was back in the melting pot with Spa trailing their Mid Kerry opponents by 6 points at half time. Despite conceding an early second half goal Spa upped their work rate with great running by Garry Vaughan and Evan Jones and were duly rewarded with a Keelan Deegan brace followed by a Cian Fahey effort to the net. Soon there were only two points in this enthralling encounter. Tomas Cronin then cracked off a terrific effort that was miraculously saved by the Beaufort keeper. The resultant clearance fortuitously found itself to the Spa net, leaving the boys in blue with too little time to claw back the lead.
