Our senior football team went down to a determined St Pats team
last Sunday morning.The sun shone brilliantly but we witnessed a
very poor performance from our senior players.Too many players
weren't at the races.Hard to remember a time when a Bray Emmets
team didn't register a score for an entire half of a game.
St. Pats were first to score on the twelve minute.In fact
the Emmets had three or four chances to score but none of the
forwards stood up and took responsibility.Giving away possession
proved costly when St. Pats capitalised on a poor pass out of
defence and sent the ball to the back of the net. With the wind to
their backs St. Pats applied extra pressure and Bray gave away some
silly frees.The score at half time was Bray Emmets 0-0 St.Pats
1-6--- five of those points coming from frees!!
In the second half we upped our game and took the match to St.
Pats.We gradually began to pick off some scores and eat into the
Pats lead. Unfortunately Pats scored an opportunistic goal in the
final quarter and we ran out of time. Scorers :J.Kinch 0-5,
B.Ohannaidh 0-1, J. Walsh 0-1, L.Benson 0-1 T. Denver 0-1.
