Iorras were well worth their 5 goal victory,3 goals from Kyle O’ Reilly and and 2 from Brendan McGrath, eased Iorras to victory ,this was an outstanding team performance  with keeper and defence keeping a clean sheet, midfield working very hard, giving nothing away, and strikers running their socks off.

Iorras Aontaithe (B) were away to Partry Athletic on Sunday 26th April in the Premier Division, and like their last league outing with Claremorris, they found themselves 3 goals adrift half way through the first half. John Noel Flannary started the Iorras come back with a well taken goal just before the break to make it 3-1. In the second half Iorras, again looked a different side and were soon back on level terms with a further goal from John Noel Flannary and a great individual goal from Garth O’Malley but indecisive defending in failing to deal with a deep cross from the by line gifted the three points to Partry four minutes from time.

Iorras Aontaithe (B) put in a very good second half performance to secure the points v Claremorris in their first away game of the new league season in the Premier Division. Iorras started well but on the 7th and 16th minute Claremorris capitalised on some sloppy defending and went two up. But on the 28th minute Iorras veteran striker, Harry Reilly latched on to a great pass from another veteran striker, Garth O’Malley to pull one back for the visitors. The two strikers came very close to levelling the game on 31st  and 34th minute but on the 44th minute Claremorris could have made it 3-1, going into the break, but for the nimble fingers of Iorras keeper, Gary Keane, making his debut between the posts.

In the second half Iorras looked a different side and on the 64th minute, Garth O’Malley made it 2-2 and he secured the points for Iorras on the 76th minute after some good play from Jack Deane. This was a very good team performance which showed good character, coming from behind and probing like they did. Manager, Micheal S. Togher was delighted with the way the team played.
