Iorras Aontaithe U13 recorded a 2-3 win away to near neighbours, Achill Rovers in the third round of the Mayo Youth cup on Tuesday 14th June. Manager, Vinnie McGrath was ably assisted by the Club Chairman who was standing in for Paul who is on his holidays with his Family in France. In the opening half Iorras were all at sea and were 2-0 down after 20 minute.
Iorras Aontaithe U13, good second half.
But just before half time
Darren Lennon pulled a goal back with a delightful cross from the right hand end line, that deceived everyone ending up in the back of the net. In the second half Iorras were a different outfit, and with a number of changes, imposed themsleves more on the home side. The second goal came ten minutes into the half with
Darren Lennon scoring his second, with a carbon copy of his first goal. Iorras continued to push forward, taking the game to the opposition, with the third goal coming 12 minutes before full time. Substitute, Luke O’Reilly was the provider with his inventive play on the left wing providing a good cross to the waiting,
Darren Murray, heading the ball home at the far post, great effort. Achill Rovers pushed forward in the final minutes for an equaliser, but good defending by Iorras cancelled their efforts. Iorras Aontaithe are now in the last 16 of this competition. This was a very good second half performance with imposing play and inventiveness in the final third. It started to rain not long into the cup clash, which was predicted by the Chairman to Vinnie and Derek, the bus driver- the hills were near, a sure sign of rain. Well done everyone and on to the next round.

Must be due to the new coach they had last week.
