Iorras Aontaithe is still chasing their first points of the new season after they went down 1-4 at home to Manulla on Sunday 8th April.
The visitors were in front on three minutes from a Lucas De Paula free from just outside the area but five minutes later Nathan Reilly levelled for Erris from a Tom Ivan free.
But on 35 minutes Lucas De Paula had Manulla in front again with a nice finish from inside the area. It stayed 1-2 at the break.
In the second half, Erris pushed for the equaliser but poor finishing let them down, Brendan Nallen on 59 minutes, Pete MacArthur on 59 minutes and Kyle O’Reilly on 60 minutes, but De Paula was just a whisker away from a hat-trick when his effort went wide of the post on 63 minutes.
Manulla scored their third goal on 68 minutes when Chris Maughan found space on the edge of the box and Declan Tonra made it four for Manulla on 75 minutes.
Erris are away to S.& F. Utd in the Westaro Cup on Saturday 15th April.
TEAM- Shaun Noone, Nathan Reilly, Diarmuid Healy, Liam Donoghue, Micheal Meeneghan: Anthony Mills (Capt.), Tom McAndrew, Brendan Nallen, Pete MacArthur: Kyle O’Reilly, Tom Ivan.

LESSONS LEARNED AWAY TO THE CHAMPIONS.
The Premier League champions Iorras Aontaithe made the long journey to the home of the Super League champions Westport United on April 1st.
Iorras started on the front foot but costly mistakes were punished by a clinical Westport side, scoring 3 goals in a 15 minute period. Iorras were unlucky not to get a goal back before the break after Tom McAndrew hit the underside of the crossbar with the keeper stranded just before half time.
After the break Iorras got a foothold in the game with substitutions playing an important part. Westport grabbed another goal before Iorras pulled a goal back through substitute Jason Boylan, who rounded the keeper and finished calmly into the net. Westport capitalised on a defensive error to make it 5 before Niall Geraghty had a shot cleared off the line from a corner. Westport then finished the scoring in the last minute of the game. Final score Westport United 6 – 1 Iorras Aontaithe.
