Under 15 match report Athlone Town 1 Bray Wanderers 2

 

 

Two early Daniel Oluwadara Olusola goals helped Bray record their first U15 EA SPORTS MU15 LOI Group B win of the season. 

In what was their last outing in the section, the visitors overcame Athlone Town 2-1 last Saturday at the Athlone Town Stadium. 

The Midlanders had won the reverse fixture back in March 3-1 at Berryfield Park in Enniskerry. 

It took the Green and White’s just five minutes to hit the front. 

From a Charlie Byrne cross from the left, Oluwadara Olusola applied a neat left-footed finish. 

It became 2-0 in the 17th minute. 

Playing out from the back, a long pass from skipper Jack Lawless where Oluwadara Olusola outpaced the home defence down the right channel before finishing well into the left corner with a lob on the run. 

But the ‘Town pulled one back just five minutes later. 

From a corner, Harry Hughes reacted to a scramble in the six-yard box after Wanderers had failed to clear. 

In the final third period, Harry Grainger struck the crossbar for the visitors. 

But then Seagulls reserve goalkeeper Jamie Dalton did well to tip a shot onto the post with just five minutes to go which ensured victory.
