Iorras u17s kept their Premier Division league title hopes alive after a thunderous second half comeback against a class Castlebar Celtic outfit in Celtic park this evening
Half the Iorras u17 team landed at the bus with ice creams and for a long time it appeared a day out at the beach was all they had in their heads
Celtic had led 2.1 at half time after dominating play with Iorras getting their goal after a great ball by Aran Reilly was clinically put away by Luke O’ Reilly on the stroke of half time,a couple of superb saves in the first half by Evan Ivers kept the score down

Great come back by Iorras young guns

At half the teacups went flying and the hairdryers came out but for 20 minutes after half time Iorras could not touch the ball going 4.1 down before Luke o Reilly headed in his second but minutes later went 5.2 down.
but then the shackles came off with Johnny Harding and Keith Kennedy entering the game and Iorras tore into Celtic all over the pitch winning every tackle finding their man with every ball and Luke o Reilly cut loose adding 5 more to his tally one a classy back-heel after a super head back from Mikey Conroy,assists are the latest big thing now and Mikey Conroy,Mikey Lavelle,Johnny Harding Aran Reilly and Evan Ivers get fantasy football bonus points,Matthieu our French student says we’re class team even got in the team picture

Iorras U15s earn a well deserved draw!

Europa league had to take a back seat this eve as the Iorras u15s entertained Westport at Carnenash this evening 18th in a very entertaining match. Both teams played open attacking football throughout and found both defenses in no mood to let players through, with Fiachna, Luke, Niall, Shea and John holding firm. No score at half time, although the home side had the better chances with Dara seeing his efforts sail wide of the target, after good work from Robert in the middle.
The game then saw Westport score first with the Iorras defense screaming handball, but the ref was not interested. This sparked the lads into life and they were level within minutes when Diarmaid chipped the Westport keeper in delightful fashion after good work from the midfield of Owen, Daithi, Eamon and Mark. Both teams had chances to win it, but all agreed a draw was a fair result. The subs of Padraig, Matthew and Daragh all made an impact in the second half and thanks to all the home supporters for all the noise in the stand, especially those who thought we had won the game near the end!
Next up is an away game in Manulla next Wednesday 25th
Commiseration to all Liverpool fans on a very disappointing night.
