Erris United Football Cub

Club Youth Secretary and Under age Coach, Eric O’Reilly is happy with how the Under 14 Panel has preformed this season, and even though they lost at home to Manulla on Wednesday evening the 9th 1-3, they can reflect on their second half performance, and were very unlucky not to have won the encounter, hitting the post three times in the second half. Ryan Ruddy scored the only Iorras  goal, from just inside the area with a great header after some good build-up play by Gary Boylan and Einri Healy. With one game left in their division, they will have secured a fourth place finish. The U14 side have also the Semi-Final of the Cup to look foreword to. Well done everyone.

This Sunday the 13th June,”S” and his Team, will travel to, title holders, Ballina Town, and this encounter will again, like all the others, represent another stiff examination of how far Erris United have progressed in this year’s Super League campaign to date. The game kicks-off at 2.30pm. The (B) Team, meanwhile, are away to Ballinrobe Town in the Premier Division on Saturday evening 12th.

A very depleted Iorras Aontaithe made hard work of their round one, Connaught Gold Cup (League Cup), at home to Crossmolina (B) on Sunday 6th with a final score 2-0 to Iorras.

It was 0-0 at half time, a half in which Iorras did all the running. But at the resumption of play the home side imposed themselves more on the visitors. The Manager, Michael S. Togher, had Iorras in front on 56 minutes and Michael Meenaghan made it 2-0 0n 75 minutes and on 85 minutes, Stephen Nallan’s looping header was denied by the cross bar from a corner.  Next Sunday 13th it’s back to Super League action and an away tie to title holders, Ballina Town.

Iorras Aontaithe (B) exited the Connaught Gold Cup (Mayo League Cup) on Saturday evening the 5th against Conn Rangers losing 4-3 on penalty’s,  after the game ended 1-1.  The first half was an evenly contested affair with both sides having scoring opportunity’s.

But it wasn’t until 61 minutes, when the visitors went in front through David Burke, in a goal mouth scramble.  But Iorras levelled the encounter just on full time when Brendan McIntyre was fouled on the edge of the area and Tom McAndrew scored with a excellent free to the top lift corner. Extra time failed to separate these two sides, but unfortunately for Iorras, their luck ran out in the spot kick shot out. Better luck next time .
