Iorras Aontaithe (B) brought down the curtain on their 2011 league season with a, not to remember, display against Crossmolina on Saturday evening the 3rd, final score, Iorras (B) 3 Crossmolina 1. All the action (what action you might ask) happened in the second half.

On 75 minutes the visitors took the lead but Gareth O’Malley levelled for Erris on 83 minutes with a good header and five minutes later Eric slotted home a penalty and just on full time Gareth got his second with a quick turn of foot to put a small shine on a rather dull outing. Well done all the same. Michael S Togher came on in the second half and made a big difference with his vision, passing, control and drive.

 

 

In the Super League, Iorras slumped to a 0-2 defeat at home to Claremorris on Sunday 4th. The Manager was without some of his key players for this end of season clash. The side was made up of some established plays, emerging talent sprinkled with some golden oldies, and they played well, despite the score line.

In Round one of the F.A.I. Junior Cup, Iorras Aontaithe are drawn at home to Crossmolina on the weekend of the 17th/18th September. And if their lucky enough to  progress, then round two, will see them at home to Castlebar Celtic on the weekend of the 15th/16th October.  Good luck everyone
