Iorras Aontaithe U18 where in winning form on Saturday 7th March away to Killala in the Quigley Cup. They came with confidence in their step after an impressive win over Achill Rovers. The game began at a slow pace as conditions suited neither sides. Iorras had little in the way of attempts on goal in the first half. But in the second half, Manager, Joe McNulty changed team tactics which proved very fruitful. Seconds into the half the ball fell to Thomas McAndrew in the Killala 18 yard area and he finished with confidence. Not too long after the opening goal, left back, Diarmuid Healy gave a wonderful pass to the inform, Micky T Togher, and his flick over the Killala Keeper, showing the skill and form this striker is in. Killala had a chance to pull one back when Iorras gave away a penalty with the resulting kick saved by Iorras keeper, Gary Keane. The third goal come when a long kick from the Iorras keeper found the feet of Captain, Sean Gaughan who took it around the Killala keeper and finished well. Killala had a few chances in the dying moments but the Iorras defence managed well. The Iorras Aontaithe U18’s deserved their win and their place in the Quarter final of the Quigley Cup. Next up is a trip to Galway and local side, West Coast, in the Connaught Shield on Saturday 14th March. The Match report was compiled by team assistant/ PRO, Mark Reilly.
