Iorras Aontaithe (B) missed out on in the Tuohy Cup final in Milebush Park Castlebar this afternoon on a score of 2-1. Iorras went in front 2 minutes into the game when John Noel Flannery slotted home from close range but 4 minutes before half time Claremorris were back  level. But 3 minutes into the second half a mix up in defence gifted Claremorris the lead. Iorras will regret the two missed opportunities they had in the first half when James Tighe and Garth O’Malley were one on one with the Keeper but failed to score. Congrats to Claremorris and better luck next time, Iorras.
