Rathnew go into the quarter finals  after a fine victory in the end against a valiant Bray side. There was very little in it up to the last 5 mins where Rathnew dug deeper and pulled away for the vital win. Some of the old war horses for Rathnew drew on all their guile and experience to help their team to victory. Fine displays from Leighton, Damien, Staff and Bruiser helped keep up the 'Villages' record of reaching this stage for the past 23 years. No one will want us in the draw but we still need to improve and build on this win. After the poor display last time out, it was heartening to see some of the old Rathnew fight back. The lads have been working hard and it showed yesterday, the hunger is back.So well done to Declan Byrne and he's management staff, and all the team captained by Nicky Mernagh.Final score Rathnew 3-9 Bray 1-10. You gave us something to cheer about yesterday. Roll on the quarter finals because Rathnew may have got in through the back door but we are not leaving till the parties over.
