Iorras Aontaithe/Erris United are through to the fifth and open round of the F.A.I. Junior cup coming from behind with spirit and determination  away to Super League rivals Manulla, in a very exciting encounter on Sunday 24th January.  Iorras first half performance wasn’t up to their usual best and they found themselves a goal behind on 24 minutes when a Manulla cross from the edge of the area deceived Iorras defender, David Reilly leaving the Manulla striker to shoot past the Iorras keep.   Iorras were unlucky not to have levelled soon afterwards when Garrett O’Malley found space in front of goal but his effort was blocked and a Brendan Nallen effort minutes later hit the cross bar. It remained 1 nil at the break.

Iorras were a different prospect in the second half going 3-4-3.  A Garrett O’Malley effort hot the bottom of the post midway through the half and with the introduction of Shane Nallen, Jonathan Donohue and the Player-Manager Eric O’Reilly Iorras looked the better outfit. On the 8oth minute Eric O’Reilly passed to Shane Nallen who then provided a great cross to the far post were his brother Brendan scored with a downward header it was a will deserved equalizer. Then on 82 minutes a long range kick out from Enda Conroy, the Iorras Keeper, had the Manulla keeper at six’s and seven’s, and with Ivan Barrett also to contend with, the ball ended up in the net. Iorras had their backs to the wall for the closing minutes. It was a very good spirited display all-round from Erris United especially in the second half.

Iorras Aontaithe are now at home against the winners of this competition back in 2008, Carrick United from Waterford, on Sunday 7th February with a 12 noon kick-off and if they show the same spirit and determination they will be in this competition for some time to come.

TEAM. Enda Conroy, Kenny O’Connor, David Reilly, Henry Gaughan, Neil Geraghty, Anthony Mills, Sean Gaughan, Brendan Nallen, Micky Togher, Garrett O’Malley Ivan Barrett. Subs. Shane Nallen, Jonathan Donohue and Eric O’Reilly.
