Iorras Aontaithe secured three vital away points in their Super League clash against Manulla on Sunday 3rd July, final score: Iorras 1 Manulla 0.

Mark Gilbert was the hero for Erris getting his head to a great cross three minutes into the encounter from Sean Gaughan. This win was very important, given their position in the Super League table.

Iorras Aontaithe (B) unfortunately, slumped to a 4-1 defeat away to local side, Kilmore United on Saturday evening the 2nd in Premier Division (B). Tom Duffy scored for Erris eight minutes before full time. The league season for the (B) side is turning out to be a nightmare, and despite having lots of possession in this encounter, they failed to turn it into goals.

It was a case of, one way traffic, for the Iorras Aontaithe U-12 side in their first game of the season in the grading league with a 10-2 win over Ballina Town (B) at Carne Nash Park on Friday evening the 1st July.

Goals from Evan Ivers (4). Cormack Murray (2). Luke O’Reilly (2) and one each from Aran Reilly and Johnny Harding. Well done everyone and also their Managers, Paul and Joe.

 

Iorras Aontaithe (B) were at home to Partry Athletic on Sunday 26th in the League, the final score, Iorras (B) 3 Partry 3.  Sean O’Donnell had Iorras (B)  two goals up at half time, and were in control.

Shortly in the second half, the home side made it 3-0 when Stephen Cawley was fouled in the area, the offending Partry player was red carded and a penalty was awarded which Padraig Doherty converted. But after that, things tended to go down hill for Iorras (B).

 

On 64 minutes John Paul Sweeney started the comeback for ten men Partry and on 78 and 83 minutes, Kieran Henley levelled proceedings with two good efforts. Stephen Cawley, Paul Barrett and Jason Boylan had a few chances to take all three points for Iorras, but poor finishing let them down.

 

 

Iorras (B) were a shamble after the first Partry goal and failed to protect a three goal advantage. In fact, the visitors could have taken all three points in the closing minutes, such was the state Erris were in.

Iorras Aontaithe dropped three needed points away to Westport United in the Super league on the evening of the 25th June, final score: Iorras 1 Westport 3.

Iorras were 1-0 down going in at the break. But shortly into the second half, John Cafferkey levelled the score with an excellent free kick. But unfortunately Iorras conceded two more, the last one was from a corner, just before full time. Iorras goal keeper, Ivan Barrett was excellent, despite  the final score line.
