Iorras Aontaithe capped off their 2013 Super League season with 4-0 win at home to Manulla on Sunday 26th. Iorras were playing with a very strong wind in the opening half and on 18 minutes Eamon McAndrew slotted home from close range, Micky Togher the provider. Then four minutes later Micky Togher made it two for Iorras on 22 minutes, this time, Eamon McAndrew the provider.
Iorras could have been more in front at the break with Garth O’Malley coming close on few occasions, but it remained 2-0 at half time. In the second half Iorras adapted while against the strong wind and occasionally driving rain shows with their good passing/ movement and wide play. Manulla did come very close to scoring on 61 minutes but Iorras Keeper; Harry Reilly was perfectly positioned to block the shot. Then on 72 minutes Gareth O’Malley finished well to make it 3-0 after a good solo run from mid-field. Eamon McAndrew scored four minutes later to make it 4-0, and so it remained until Referee, Pat Foley blow full time.
Such is the grazy nature of this Division; Iorras have finished in fourth position in the table after spending most of the season in the lower half of the table, but overall the Management will reflect positively on the league season. One point of interest, Iorras have used no fewer than thirteen Goalkeepers over the league campaign on various occasions – can you name them?
TEAM- Harry Reilly, Michael Meenaghan, Eamon Carey, David Reilly, Micky Togher, Anthony Mills, Seamus O’Malley, Oisín Murphy, Garth O’Malley, Eamon McAndrew, Liam Donahue. SUB Used– Thomas Murphy on 59 minutes for Seamus O’Malley.
