UNDER 8 AGB FOOTBALL BLITZ 28TH SEPTEMBER 2009
The Under 8 squad travelled to the sun-drenched soils of Arklow to compete in a well-organised, highly hospitable AGB football blitz. Three games later and the troops were well and truly satisfied. On one team, Eoin Fitzsimons, Rory Lambe and Oisín Drury got some eye-catching scores, while on the other team, David Nesbitt, Finn O’Loughlin and Alex Russell gave a 100% to their cause. The mentors were very happy with the general cohesion and spirit shown by the players. Beimid ag imirt in aghaidh Ballinteer an tseachtain seo chugainn, agus muid ag tnúth go mór leis an dúshlán sin. Under 8 – Football Blitz 7TH SEPTEMBER 2009
An Tóchar CLG in Roundwood hosted this blitz Saturday morning. 20 Bray players proudly represented us on 2 different teams. Blessington, Newtown and An Tóchar all provided stern opposition but Bray Emmets team-work paid dividends in the final analysis. The Coaches were more than happy with the first outing of the new season. A promising start for a promising and eager young squad. Beidh muid ag imirt arís Dé Sathairn seo chugainn ag an ‘Kick-Fada’ in Emmet Bhré.

Under 8 Hurling 6th July 2009 A 10 player selection was in Croke Park last week for a game against Graiguenamanagh from Kilkenny. The experience was a great thrill for all involved, young and old. The players got an opportunity to not only play on the hallowed-turf but to visit the changing rooms too. The game itself started briskly. Eleanor Carroll-Hayes and Sean McDonagh cleverly found the Kilkenny net. Out in midfield Davy Maloney, aided by Michael Timmons, were both being made to earn their stripes. The duos dug deep and were assisted in no small part by Gavin O’Shea’s reading of the breaking ball. Bray net minder Oisin Drury was marshalling his defence with good effect and keeping a squeaky clean sheet. The half finished 7 – 1 in favour of Emmet Bhre. The half-time team talk was complimented by our near neighbour, Wicklow and Ireland star, Leighton Glynn.
The second half began with some changes made by managers Larry Timmons and Brian Lambe. Jamie Baguley came into the play with re-newed determination and David Nesbitt dropped back to help his midfield when required. As legs tired, and hearts nearly stopped, the outstanding contributions of Eoin Fitzsimons and the 2 sided Rory Lambe brought this great game over the white line at a final temperature of 10 goals and one point to Kilkenny's 3 goals. Ni dheanfaimid dearmad go deo ar an la seo. Go raibh mile maith agaibh do na tuismitheoiri ar fad a thainig chun tacaiocht a thabhairt duinn.
Bray: David Nesbitt, David Maloney, Eoin Fitzsimons, Eleanor Carroll-Hayes, Gavin O’Shea, Jamie Baguley, Michael Timmons, Oisin Drury, Rory Lambe, and Sean McDonagh.

On one pitch, Leah Carroll, Carla Lennon and Darragh McCormack were the main movers, defending and creating in equal measure. Pitch number 2 was backboned by the endeavours of Gavin Henderson, Jamie Baguley and the ever-improving Michael Timmons. The conditions often meant the players had to dig deep. Finally on pitch 3, the compliments of the crowd went in the direction of the all-round contributions of Rory Lambe and Sam Kearney.

Oisín Drury, Conor Hardiman and Seán McDonagh worked tirelessly showing their defensive and attacking skills. This was a very strong overall team performance. Go raibh maith agaibh don lucht tacaíochta a tháinig chun breathnú orainne. Under 8 – Academy 18TH MAY 2009 A monsoon weekend almost prevented us hosting this ‘Go-games’ hurling blitz last Saturday. However, the elements could not keep back the deluge of eager hurlers and generous parents who helped to carry the morning. Bray fielded 3 teams, Glenealy, Carnew and Kilcoole one each. A Gavin O’Shea lead Bray team, supported by the hard work of Carla Lennon and others, beat Carnew. In another top-notch encounter, Davy Maloney was the stand-out player against Glenealy, a game which was sealed by a tenacious Joseph Dillon goal. Other players to be noticed for their skilful contributions were Nick Hederman, Oisín Carney and Gavin Henderson. The afters were the final high-point, sandwiches, tea and goodies in abundance. The visiting teams all complimented their Bray Emmets morning. Míle buíochas do na tuismitheoirí a rinne ceapairí agus a tháinig le rudaí deasa le n-ithe Under 8 - Academy 2001 11th May 2008 A 9 player squad competed in the Barndarrig Go Games last Friday night. Seán McDonagh, Sarah Lambe, Rory Lambe, Michael Timmons, Gavin O’Shea, Eoin Fitzsimons, David Nesbit, Conor Hardiman and Brian Glass. The squad played 3 very competitive games. The first against Kilcoole, which Bray dominated. A great Brian Glass goal, powered by fine players like Eoin Fitzsimons in midfield. The second game against Avoca was a tough affair, capable strong footballers who pounded the Bray defence. Rory Lambe blocked bravely while Gavin O’Shea ensured we remained in touch. Energy levels were being tested by the time we met Barndarrig. A well balanced team and a tooth-and-nail exchange. Michael Timmons showed courage and loyalty to his team mates while David Nesbit showed his silky skills. Sarah Lambe, our only girl, kept the flag flying high with a spirited performance. Go raibh míle maith agaibh do Colm McDonagh, Rod O’Shea agus na tuismitheoirí uilig a tháinig linn go dtí an Bhearna Dhearg.
