Feb 22 2014
Iorras Aontaithe U18’s showed lots of drive, character and determination, especially in the second half, in beating current holders of the FAI Youth cup, Castleview FC of Cork City and booked their place in the All-Ireland quarter final of the competition winning in a penalty sudden death shoot-out after the game ended 1-1.
Iorras Aontaithe U18, hot on the trail of FAI Youth Cup glory and a quarter final encounter.
This fixture was played at the Kilmore Community Sports field with Carnenash park out of action due to the recent heavy rain, and many thanks to them for facilitating this fixture. Erris were 1-0 down on 57 minutes when Aaron Kelleher slotted in from close range.

Then shortly afterwords Castleview were reduced to ten men when Adan Carroll picked up his second yellow card. Iorras were back on level terms in the 87th minutes when Tom Ivan scored after some good play from Ryan Ruddy and Justin Healy. The penalty shoot-out was certainly a very nerve racking experience, but there was joyous scenes when Tom Ivan scored to send Erris through to the quarter final. Best of luck in the next round to all.
