The Premier League champions Iorras Aontaithe made the long journey to the home of the Super League champions Westport United on April 1st.
Iorras started on the front foot but costly mistakes were punished by a clinical Westport side, scoring 3 goals in a 15 minute period. Iorras were unlucky not to get a goal back before the break after Tom McAndrew hit the underside of the crossbar with the keeper stranded just before half time.
After the break Iorras got a foothold in the game with substitutions playing an important part. Westport grabbed another goal before Iorras pulled a goal back through substitute Jason Boylan, who rounded the keeper and finished calmly into the net. Westport capitalised on a defensive error to make it 5 before Niall Geraghty had a shot cleared off the line from a corner. Westport then finished the scoring in the last minute of the game. Final score Westport United 6 – 1 Iorras Aontaithe.
