The senior team travelled to Donard last Sunday morning and came
away with another two valuable league points. It was a beautiful
morning for football set in wonderful surroundings. The first
quarter was very even where the exchanges were keen and the teams
evenly balanced. Donard opted to play with the wind in the first
half and took the game to Bray. Paul Cunningham opened the scoring
for Bray with a well taken point from the right hand side of the
field .Quick interplay between Niall MacGraynor, Stephen Fox and
Paul saw the latter finish the ball to the net. Donard responded
with some excellent point scoring and were soon back on level
terms. A goal mouth scramble saw the ball come off the Donard
keeper and into his own net. Minutes later we were awarded a
penalty when Alan Corr was brought down in the square and Stephen
Fox drove the ball hard and low into the back of the net. The score
at half time was Bray 3-4 Donard 0-7
In the second half with the wind to their backs Bray stepped up
their performance and it wasn't long before they got some crucial
scores. Points from Johnny Kinch, Paddy Moynihane, Ray Lambe, Conor
Flannery and a cool executed goal by Niall MacGraynor saw Bray
finish the stronger and well deserved winners. This was another
fine team performance from all of the Bray lads. Their work rate
and support play was excellent. Scorers P. Cunningham 1-2 N.
MacGraynor 1-1 J. Kinch 0-3 S. Fox 1-0 P. Moynihane 0-2 R. Lambe
0-1 C. Flannery 0-1
