Erris United Football Club

In the Quarter final of the Masters cup on Wednesday night the 25th January, Iorras Aontaithe and Fahy Rovers played out a cracking game, with the final score: Iorras 5 Fahy 4. (After extra time).

Iorras were two goals down in the first few minutes of the opening half but by half time Iorras had pulled two goals back thanks to Gareth O’Malley, who, incidentally had suffered a hand injury five minutes into the half when he fell awkwardly, to leave the score line 2-3 to Fahy Rovers at half time.

 

 

Into the second half and Iorras continued to push forward, and two further goals for Erris, one from O’Malley and one from Harry Reilly had the sides 4-4 at full time. Extra time was called for and in the closing minutes up popped O’Malley, again to send Erris though to the Semi-Final with an over heard kick.  Incidentally, Gareth O’Malley played all through the game carrying the hand injury (heavily bandaged)  which resulted in him going to casualty (later) for xray, but thankfully nothing broken. And as the headline reads, “You gotta hand it to O’Malley”
