The Iorras u14 team got the football underway again away to Ballyglass (20th July) this evening after a very difficult and sad few days.
After a poignant minutes silence with referee Damien McGrath, Iorras tore into the home team with a screamer of a goal from Daithí after 4minutes, one Eric would be well impressed with, coincidentally on the pitch where Eric played his last match only a few weeks ago.
Iorras U14.
This spurred the lads on and they increased their lead with Daithí and Dylan hitting the net. The midfield of Oliver, Cillian, Daithí and Eoin were creating attack after attack, with Darragh and Dylan tormenting the overworked defence.
The second half continued in the same fashion with Dylan grabbing his second, but then Ballyglass staged a comeback of sorts, and grabbed a couple of goals. Captain John Ginty steadied the defence of Connor, Ciaran and Padraig that allowed Iorras to score again with Daithí securing a wonderful hat-trick and Darragh getting one from outside the box. Keeper Fiachna remained solid in the closing minutes, and super subs Jack Geraghty, Jack Deane and Cian Gallagher all had chances to increase the lead until Daithí slotted home his fourth to leave the final score 7-3 to Iorras, much to the delight of manager Harry and pilot Derek. (Still no ice creams though)
Thank you again for getting the football back in action and doing so in such fantastic fashion, it’s just a small step, but a very important one.
