EK SENIOR FOOTBALL - SUPER LEAGUE: Dr Crokes 5-17 Spa 0-05. In this game, played in Lewis Road on Friday last, we had a comprehensive win over our neighbours Spa.

Our five goal scorers were Shane Doolan, Gavin O'Shea, Brian Looney, Bryan O'Shea and Kieran O'Leary. The visitors did have many attacks in this half and kicked some great points but they failed to find the back of the net. Spa did stop the crucial goal rush in the second half but they did have too much of a lead to overturn.
