The Killarney-based outfit led 0-12 to 1-5 at the break and a late goal from Cian Murphy was the crucial score in sealing their success.
Cathal Bambury netted in the first half for Dingle, while Dylan Geaney scored 0-4. A two-pointer free from Paul Geaney left Dingle trailing 0-14 to 1-10 in the 47th minute, but Spa finished stronger with Dara Moynihan, Michael Foley, and Liam Kearney excelling.
Earlier David Clifford was the East Kerry hero as his late two-point free saw them defeat Mid Kerry in Tralee, 1-12 to 1-11.
Mid Kerry were punished for a three-up breach as they held a one-point advantage and Clifford kicked the resultant two-point free to transform defeat into victory for East Kerry.
The Fossa star scored 1-6 as the divisional team advanced to the quarter-finals.
Newly-crowned Kerry club champions Rathmore produced a late rally to win their first round tie against St Kieran’s. Mark Reen scored the winning point after Ciaran Collins had brought them level.
