Iorras were on the back foot for the first 20 minutes of the first half but just on the stroke of half time Micky Togher had Iorras going in at the break 1-nil up with an excellent goal.

Shortly into the second half Claremorris were back level and were a goal in front half way through the half but Chris Barrett put Iorras back on level terms before full time to send the tie into extra time. In the end penalty’s were called for and Kenny O’Connor sealed it for Iorras in sudden death.  They will now face League Champions, Ballina Town at Carne Nash Park on the 28th November.
