Iveagh dropped out of the Corry and Cochrane Cup with an embarrassing 5 v 1 defeat to local rivals Colin Volley. Enough said!
Iveagh Reserves continue to impress with a 3 v 2 home win against Temple Rangers. Iveagh had a comfortable enough first half without threatening too much. Temple opted to play one upfront which provided more space for the Iveagh full backs to attack. The game came alive in the second half as Iveagh pressed for a goal. They got their just rewards when Young Porky broke down the right and swung the ball into the penalty spot for Paddy Mac to volley home. Shortly after big Gerard Kerr was instrumental in increasing Iveagh’s lead when he sent Young Pork wide right who crossed from the by-line for Kerr to thunder a header at goal to make it two. Temple got back into the game via a long range effort which big Mervy in goals should have done better with. Iveagh scored straight away to make it 3 v 1 but temple continued to press Iveagh to the end and got another with 10 minutes to go. It was a very uncomfortable last 10 for Iveagh but they showed character in grinding out the result.
