Iorras u17s went down to the odd goal in 5 to a excellent Manulla side in Manulla this evening Monday 4th in an eventful game. Iorras took the lead through a breakaway goal which Mikey Lavelle finished coolly to the net, due reward for his tireless running all evening but not as coolly as Shane Togher’s finish to his own net though, Iorras had a very good shout for a penalty when Luke O’ Reilly was pulled down in the area but referee deemed otherwise. Iorras took the lead again, though in controversial fashion, when Dylan Walker tapped in a rebound from a Luke O’ Reilly shot amid claims of offside from the Manulla Players. Manulla equalized minutes later and Iorras players were just as vocal in their claims for offside with good reason, Manulla got the winner in injury time when a shot from long distance was deemed to have crossed the line in bewilderment to the outstanding Iorras keeper Fionnan Ryan. Iorras played excellent over the 80 minutes and probably deserved a share of the spoils but that’s football.
U17s next game is a home league tie v Conn Rangers on Monday 11th April.
Great touch and control Mikey Conroy, and thanks to the Manulla keeper no names mentioned, for not lending your cap to the Iorras goalkeeper.
