The senior footballers had another fine workout against a strong
determined Raheny team last Sunday morning down in Old Conna.The
sun shone and we witnessed a game full of end -to-end stuff with
some thrilling tussles, exceptional movement and some
wonderful scores.
Oisín o hAnnaidh relishing his role at wing back
opened the scoring with a well taken point. Playing with the
breeze, Raheny took the game to Bray and raced into a four point
lead. Conor Flannery hit back with a typical Flanno score before
Stephen Fox hit the back of the net from the penalty spot. Three
minutes later we had the score of the match. Niall McGraynor
winning the ball around midfield popped the ball to Ray Lambe who
handpassed to Brian O Keeffe who popped it to Ross MacAnaspie who
finally transferred it back to the incoming Ray to fist to the net.
Quick hands, great support play, a joy to watch.!
At half time Bray went in leading 2-3 to 0-5 .The Emmets
upped their game in the second half and with the wind to their
backs they controlled long passages of play. We saw some great
score taking from John O Keeffe, Flanno, Niall McGraynor and
Ross.The defence dealt more than competently with everything that
came their way and finished very strongly.This was a tough physical
contest and it was encouraging to see everyone weather the storm.
Bray ran out eventual winners on a score line of 3-8 to 1-8.
If you would like to catch this team in action come along to
Ballyboden next Sunday at 12 oclock.
