Ireland, Kildare—Church Records, 1740–1913 [Part A] [M3YZ-WK6] SP abbreviation?

I am indexing the above record. After every entry for a baptism is a line starting with what looks like SP and then a male and a female name are listed. Could this be the sponsors (i.e. God Parents ) of the baptized child?

At first I thought it might be a date but it is written the same each time it is entered and no child's name seems to be written on this line.

I tried to look at records before and after this batch and they are listed as unavailable.

I would appreciate some input.

Sp stands for Sponsors - godfather and godmother.

You will also sometimes see SS - also means Sponsors.
