Iorras Aontaithe are in the Quarter final of the Connaght junior Cup with a comfortable 0-4 away win to Galway side, Oughterard on Sunday 10th Match.

The home side started the brighter with Erris Keeper, Shane Nallan have to deal with a good header from a corner two minutes into the game. But in the 20th minute Erris went in front when Jonathan Donahue scored with good finish after some good build-up play from Mark Gilbert and Micky Togher. It remained 1-0 at the break and six minutes into the second half Shane Murphy made it 2-0 with Micky Togher the provider. Then 8 minutes later Erris scored their third when Brendan Nallan wiped in a good free out on the right to the fare post for David Reilly to head home. Micky Togher rounded off a measurable afternoon for the Galway side when he scored the fourth goal for Erris.
Both teams observed a minutes silence before kick-off in memory of the late Colette Sweeney R.I.P.
