TEN OUT OF TEN!!!

Category: UncategorizedThomas @ 12:37 am

Erris under 13’s were at home to Ballina in the final League game of the season. The sun was shining and the stand was packed with parents, supporters, under 15’s, academics, junior team and fans hoping for a feast of footie.

Erris under age success continues.

Erris under age success continues.

Erris needed a draw or a win to secure the title but the visitors started the better. Molly O’Connor and Martin Mullarkey were faultless as they contained the threat from the wings. Connor Barrett and Ciaran Cawley controlled the centre of defence like two nightclub bouncers. “You’re not getting in!”

Hero's all

Hero’s all

Cian Gallagher in goal was bravery personified as he dived at attacker’s feet and climbed over them to clear corners.
The breakthrough came as a bit of Ballina trickery in midfield led to a ball over the top. The high line of Erris came second in the foot race as the Ballina striker calmly slotted past the keeper.
0-1 down at halftime but Managers Lenny and Des were full of praise for their team. Quicker passing was called for and the midfield was asked to take it up a notch. The results were instantaneous.
Tony Lavelle and Owen Doherty tore into tackles like a six year old opening presents on Xmas morning. Ferociously.
Eoin Walsh gave a masterclass in midfield play with tackling, passing and dribbling. Ben Donohue relished the role of captain and ate before and after him.
Adam Conroy broke the stats machine for miles covered as he kept all four defenders busy and Dylan Togher was like a particularly annoying rash as he was all over the centre backs.
The equaliser came from Tony who battled through midfield to poke the ball home. Finally, Erris relaxed and began to play their natural pure football to show the crowd just how good they can be.
Dylan scored two beauties in quick succession while Owen crossed in a late one to make it a final score of us 4 them 1.
Wild celebrations followed the final whistle as there was a big bundle of all the players…apart from Molly who felt it was a bit inappropriate.
Managers Lenny and Des could not describe how proud they were of every one of the squad.
This team has won ten out of ten league games. To win every away game with all the travelling deserves special mention. People have delayed holidays, played with holes in their knees, played with broken elbows, put in hours upon hours of training and now it has all been worth it.
Enjoy it, these things don’t come around that often and if you see any of the squad, congratulate them.
This was massive.

At half the teacups went flying and the hairdryers came out but for 20 minutes after half time Iorras could not touch the ball going 4.1 down before Luke o Reilly headed in his second but minutes later went 5.2 down.
but then the shackles came off with Johnny Harding and Keith Kennedy entering the game and Iorras tore into Celtic all over the pitch winning every tackle finding their man with every ball and Luke o Reilly cut loose adding 5 more to his tally one a classy back-heel after a super head back from Mikey Conroy,assists are the latest big thing now and Mikey Conroy,Mikey Lavelle,Johnny Harding Aran Reilly and Evan Ivers get fantasy football bonus points,Matthieu our French student says we’re class team even got in the team picture

And Bob should have scored the 8th.

Iorras U15s earn a well deserved draw!


Europa league had to take a back seat this eve as the Iorras u15s entertained Westport at Carnenash this evening 18th in a very entertaining match. Both teams played open attacking football throughout and found both defenses in no mood to let players through, with Fiachna, Luke, Niall, Shea and John holding firm. No score at half time, although the home side had the better chances with Dara seeing his efforts sail wide of the target, after good work from Robert in the middle.
The game then saw Westport score first with the Iorras defense screaming handball, but the ref was not interested. This sparked the lads into life and they were level within minutes when Diarmaid chipped the Westport keeper in delightful fashion after good work from the midfield of Owen, Daithi, Eamon and Mark. Both teams had chances to win it, but all agreed a draw was a fair result. The subs of Padraig, Matthew and Daragh all made an impact in the second half and thanks to all the home supporters for all the noise in the stand, especially those who thought we had won the game near the end!
Next up is an away game in Manulla next Wednesday 25th
Commiseration to all Liverpool fans on a very disappointing night.

GUESS WHO’S BACK?

Category: UncategorizedThomas @ 9:02 am

Erris Under 13’s had their sternest test yet against Ballyheane on a gorgeous evening at Carne Nash.
Erris missed several opportunities to score and were made to pay as the visitors took the lead after ten minutes. This was the first time Erris had been behind in a game all season and the packed stand was anxious to see how they would respond.
Sluggishly, was the answer, as chance after chance went begging. Eventually, Molly O’Connor dinked a ball through to Dylan Togher who made no mistake. 1-1.
Waiting patiently on the bench was Adam Conroy, who due to injuries and confirmations had missed the early part of the season. He had his new boots on and wanted to test them out.
Erris continued to struggle, Adam looked at managers Lenny and Des and wondered how much longer this would go on.
The substitution was made and within thirty minutes, Adam had scored a hat trick and Erris were home and hosed.
Ciaran Cawley got the goal of the night, which along with a late consolation goal made it a final score of us 5 them 2.
Connor Barrett defended magnificently, Eoin Walsh was inspirational and Tony Lavelle controlled the midfield.
Much of our frustration was caused by an Erris man as Luca Meldrum (Sarina Reilly’s lad) was outstanding in goal for Ballyheane.
Owen Doherty made an incredible goal line clearance as he somehow hooked the ball over the bar when the whole world thought it was going in. The problem was, it was their goal line as another chance slipped by.
The rules in training are that if you miss an open goal then you kneel down and recite a Hail Mary. Owen, Tony and Dylan, amongst many others, went home with their rosary beads as they will have decades of them to offer up to make up for all the missed chances.
No training this weekend, check your newsletter and go to mass, it might be of more use to us.
