Iorras Aontaithe recorded a very positive second half performance at home to S & F United on a rain soaked Saturday evening the 2nd June to seal their first three points of the new super league season, final score, Iorras Aontaithe 4 S.& F. United 1.
Brendan Nallen, power and pace with his two goals.
Iorras were in front on 28 minutes when Mark Gilbert was foiled in the area and Player-Manager, David Reilly slotted home the resulting penalty. Mark Gilbert could have made it 2-nil on 42 minutes but his header hit the cross bar. But just before the break, indecisive defending by Erris gifted the visitors a free kick just on the edge of the area and Paul Moran scored.
Mark Gilbert, gave Erris back the lead with his backward header.
Shortly into the second half, Mark Gilbert popped up to give Iorras the lead, heading home a in swinging cross from the inform, Gareth O’Malley. Erris then introduced the very versatile, Sean Gaughan on 63 minutes, which gave Erris a new edge and on 69 minutes player Manager, Brendan Nallen scored with a very individual effort, with lots of power and pace. Then on 78 minutes the rock steady influence of Henry Gaughan was introduced in defence. The goal post denied Mark Gilbert on 86 minutes, but two minutes later Brendan Nallen scored his scored goal, much in the same vein as his first to leave the final score 4-1. This was very good second half display from Erris with some very good individual performances and well done to all.
