Ladies Senior Football
Bray Emmets 3 - 12 St. Patricks 2 - 4
Bray started well and within two minutes had the first score on the board. We played with the wind in the first half which was an advantage for our forwards who put up a score of 2 - 9 before the break. St Pat's were no push over and had a score of 2 - 2 themselves. Bray came out in the second half determined that we could win. The strength of our defences line and skill of our mature players was to be the deciding factor in this game. Bray went on to score two goals and three points to St Pat's two points in the second half.
This Final on Saturday evening in Arklow was won by every girl from under 16 to senior who has played for Bray Senior Ladies this season. They have played well together as a team and their commitment to training every Monday and Thursday has been outstanding. I could praise the 20 girls lucky enough to play in this Senior B final, but that would not do justice to the rest of the squad who were unfortunate not to be picked and who turned up to cheer on their team mates.
Well done to all the girls and we will get to celebrate together in the near future. The final score was

U14 Camogie.
The U14 Camogie team travelled to Kiltegan on Mon 11 August. From the throw-in, Bray stole a march on the local girls. Jane Butler and Tricia Phelan played cleverly, creating openings for the free-scoring Erika Bellamy. By half-time, Bray had built up an impressive tally. This continued in the second-half, with Olivia Duffy and Grace Browne showing their ability. Bray continued their dominance until the final whistle, empowered by performances from Shauna O'Kelly, Nicole Ryan and Eimear Martin. Bhí Séamus agus Anne Carroll an-sásta leis an mbua.

Under 10 Football
Bray Emmets U-10; Fingallians Tournament, Saturday 9th August
Bray Emmets under 10 footballers produced a series of magnificent displays in the Fingallians Tournament, across their 5 matches against teams from Dublin, Meath, Down and Donegal. A comfortable win in their first group match was followed up by an incredible comeback in their second game, against St Sylvester's. Trailing 3-4 to 0-1 at half-time, the players fought back with a determined display in the second-half, spurred on by a rousing motivational talk from team manager Gary Prunty. The team were beaten by a very impressive Ratoath team in their final group game, but the earlier results had earned qualification for a semi-final meeting with their Swords hosts. Again, it was the concentrated effort of the players in the second half that led to a win here, booking a place in the final against An Riocht from County Down. The scores were tied at a point a piece at half time, before Bray took the lead with a goal, during a torrential downpour, early in the second half. A victory, and first trophy for this group of players, appeared to be on the cards until An Riocht equalised following confusion amongst both teams, who mistakenly thought that the referee had blown his whistle for a free kick. He waved for the players to 'play-on', when the An Riocht forward kicked the ball into the net. Another goal followed less than half a minute later. Bray came close to equalising a number of times before the end, but the goal that they required alluded them. Overall, this was a great day out for the players, coaches, and the strong team of supporting parents. Bray Emmets squad: James, Adam P, Adam D, Cillian, Jamie M, Finn, Cathal, Kyle, Cian, Alex, Jack.



Under 13 Camogie
The Under 13 Camogie team played Annacurra in Emmet Bhré on Friday Aug 1st. This was the B semi-final as we had previously suffered a narrow defeat against Carnew. The girls put in a great performance on Friday against a very strong Annacurra team. Laura McGarry took on the role of goalie for the first half and cleared some strong attempts by the Annacurra girls. Jordan O Brien and Neasa Ryder did a great job on defending the goal. In the half back line Eleanor Carroll Hayes and Alannah Henry made life quite difficult for Annacurra winning the ball and moving it up the field quickly and efficiently. Laura Butler and Leah Carroll dominated mid field getting lots of ball in to the forwards and getting some great scores themselves.Amy Butler, Sarah Lily Lynch and Catherine McGarry gave a great account of themselves in the forward lines. Orla Jackson played her part too and took over in goals in the second half and guarded the net well.
The Annacurra girls played hard right until the end but ultimately the Bray girls were too strong for them. Final score Bray 14-3 Annacurra 1-1.
Team - Amy Butler, Laura Butler, Eleanor Carroll Hayes, Leah Carroll,Alannah Henry, Orla Jackson,Sarah Lily Lynch,Laura McGarry, Catherine McGarry, Jordan O Brien,Neasa Ryder.
