BEN AND EOIN ON SONG.
Erris Under 13’s were at home to Kilmurry on a perishing Friday evening 8th but it didn’t take long for the match to warm up.
Thirty seconds in and Connor Barrett went on a run from centre back, fed Owen Doherty, who ran straight for goal before delivering a thunderbolt shot into the net.
In the blink of an eye, Erris were four nil up before Manager Des rushed over to make some subs. Some of the senior internationals were withdrawn to allow the younger bucks to get a go. By half time Erris were seven nil up.

The second half was a much more even affair with a final score of us 8 them 1.
Highlights included Ben Donahue and Eoin Walsh performing miracles together on the left wing. This has the potential of being the greatest partnership since a young Paul McCartney asked John Lennon could he be in his band.
Tony Lavelle got his first goal of the season but had a nightmare in goal in the second half to allow Kilmurry back into it.
Dylan Togher scored a hat trick and kept the match-ball (one of the new Size 5’s (expensive)). Owen Doherty scored two, Eoin Walsh got one and Eoin Gaughan scored an acrobatic bicycle kick.
Molly O’Connor played centre midfield and buckled a few bucks, Charles McDonagh played everywhere, Lenny Gilbert and Ethan Monaghan tested the new interpretation of the offside rule and Jack Deane put in the greatest cross in the history of history for one of the goals.
Joint manager Lenny Gilbert was taking all the credit as this was his first week on the sideline, unfortunately, he hasn’t done enough yet to deserve getting into the photo.
