Iorras Aontaithe U15 with their Manager Harry Reilly
U15s secure a point at home to Ballina in their first league outing in this premier division clash at Carnenash this evening 6th. The weather again was making good football impossible, but the home side will feel it was a case of two points dropped as they missed chance after chance, especially in the last 10 mins, when they had Ballina on the ropes.
Half-time team talk.
New signings goalkeeper Fiachna Barrett and left back John Ginty had superb debuts, and settled in well. Owen and Shea were solid in the middle, with right back Luke playing everywhere the ball was, and unlucky not to net the winner near the end. The midfield of Eamon, Niall, Robert and Matthew worked hard to secure possession and feed the hungry forward pairing, last years golden boot joint winners, Dara Padden and Daithi Cosgrove, but the strikers could not find the target, although Daithi struck a post late on after good work from sub Mark Tighe and Shea. Daragh Dixon came on also to find the elusive goal, but it was not to be. After 80 minutes, Iorras could not believe they had not scored after well over a dozen chances, but manager Harry was delighted with a strong performance and a point to get things started for this season. Thanks to all the subs who were frozen in the dugout, and to Robbie for his assistance, much appreciated.
Next up is an away trip to Westport on Wednesday next the 13th, see you all at training on Friday at 5 pm, registration will take place also so please bring someone to sign your reg form, thanks.
