The 2012 season was brought to a close this afternoon, with the (A) side going down 3-2 away to Manulla, Eamon McAndrew grabbing two for Iorras, and as for the (B) side, they recorded a 5-1 away win to Westport (B), with goals from Eric O’ Reilly (3) Kyle O’Reilly (1) and Brendan Doherty (1). Unfortunately there overall league performance this season was not enough to save them from relegation, and life in Division one for 2013.

With just one game remaining in the Super League, Iorras were a bit under the weather in their home clash with Westport on Sunday 30th September, suffering  the after-effects of  a 21st Birthday party (Sean Gaughan). Congratulations goes to Sean on getting the key of the door.
