U15 Match Report - Kerry FC 1 Bray Wanderers 3

 

Bray inflicted a first U15 EA SPORTS LOI Academy Phase 2 – Tier Two (South) home loss upon Kerry as they returned from the Kingdom with all three points. 

Playing in the club’s third strip of sky blue, two goals in the final third period saw the Wicklow outfit claim victory on Saturday afternoon at Mounthawk Park. 

An opportunistic effort gave the visitors a ninth minute lead on the all-weather pitch in Tralee. 

Home goalkeeper Ewan McCrohan saved initially. But Daniel Oluwadara Olusola reacted to hook the ball to the net with his back to goal. 

Kerry equalised through a disputed 67th minute penalty for handball which was converted by Christian Amundala. 

But the Seagulls went back in front four minutes later as defender Albie Tormey fired high to the net. 

With eight minutes of normal time remaining, substitute Etan Kelly sealed the win. He scored with a calm finish when one on one with McCrohan. 

 

Bray Wanderers: Jamie Dalton; Emanuele Vaticone, Albie Tormey, Jack Lawless, Louis Rothwell; Karl Ralph, Sean Howard; Carlsen Sadilua, Harry Grainger, Oisin Kennedy; Daniel Oluwadara Olusola.
