Erris Under 12’s bowed out of the Cup recently losing 5-3 away to Straide & Foxford. S&F showed why they are in a division above Erris by dominating the opening 20 minutes but the Erris underdogs took the lead with a power strike from Matthew Walsh. S&F equalised soon after and a biblical downpour of rain with a strong wind meant they took the initiative with 2 goals in 90 seconds and 3-1 at half time.
Straight after kick off it was 4-1 which quickly became 5-1 as Erris were in sleep mode. Harry turned them off and turned them back on again and the comeback was on.
Eoin McHale scored a belter. Eoin and Mikey Ginnelly both had huge penalty appeals turned down. Eoin scored a beauty of a third.
Despite all the players pushing into their box (keeper included) Erris could not score any more. A fantastic effort by Erris which for other than 4 minutes around half time they would have won comfortably.
History was also made as for the first time ever in the history of the world a sister came on as a substitute for her brother as Molly replaced Billy O’Connor.
