The U15 Girls Football team travelled out to Fingallians on Sat 8th April to play their next Dublin league fixture. A long trip, but one that transpired to be very useful for the team. The Bray girls put in a cohesive performance scoring twenty times in the hour. Defense was equally sharp and solid. Maith sibh, a chailíní uilig.
