When Erris (B) reflect on their opening fixture of the new league season in Division one, words like nightmare will spring to mind. Their clash with Glenhest Rovers could be described as been a game of two half’s for the home side. Iorras certainly started the brighter and were one up on 5 minutes with Gareth O’Malley slotting home from a Kyle O’Reilly pass.
Iorras Aontaithe (B), the cold wind did blow at Carne Nash, especially in the second half.
But Glenhest Rovers were back level on 23 minutes when the Iorras defence failed to deal with Christopher Rowland who scored from close range. Then four minutes later
Seamus O’Malley had the home side in front with a neat finish. But just before the break
Gareth O’Malley scored direct from a corner to make it 3-1. Four minutes into the second half Kyle O’Reilly was presented with a great opportunity when he lost his maker, and with the keeper to beat, his effort went wide of the post. Glenhest started to impose themselves more on the game from this point on, especially in the middle of the park and on the 53rd minute then scored, and with further goals on 69 minutes, 75 minutes and on 82 minutes, the visitors took all three points. In the second half both sides had penalty claims dismissed by the Referee. Lots for the Management to ponder/reflect before the next fixture. Final score
Iorras (B) 3 Glenhest Rovers 5.
Next up their away to Achill Rovers on Saturday evening the 4th with a 6.30 kick-off.
