Bohemians made their trip down the M50 on Saturday afternoon

with while as they came out on top against Bray in the sweltering

heat.

This game started evenly with both froward lines trying to run the

opposition defence in the heat and hope for mistakes . This wasn’t

the case as the goalkeepers on both sides swept up the attempted

long balls from both sides early on as chances were at a premium .

It wasn’t until after the first quarter when you could see patterns of

play from both sides coming to the fore . It was the visitors who

started to gain control in the middle of the park . they kept

possession expertly as they tried to break down as resolute home

side .

It wasn’t until the twenty fifth minute till this game burst into life .

The ball landed at the feel Ellie Spain who fired an effort towards the

goal from long range which nestled in the back of the net to give her

side the lead . Bohs kept controlling the game but couldn’t make

any major inroads into the home sides defence .

The home side managed to get one major chance in the half this

landed at feet of Amber Quinn, but her effort was expertly saved by

Ella Brennan . With the final play of the half Bohs captain Sophie

Halon broke down the wing before firing into the net from a narrow

angle .

With both sides tiring the second half became a much more open

affair with both sides creating more chances . The home side won a

corner which was delivered expertly but taken off the line by Robin

Baird . Holly McCarthy was casing big trouble any time she ran down

the wing any chance she could get but anytime she swung the ball in

her teammates couldn’t finish it into the net.

The visitors were carving out plenty of chances the next one fell to

the aforementioned Hanlon who turned expertly on the edge of the

box to fire low into the corner heading into the final quarter of the

game . The final quarter of this game started to petter out as Bohs

were in complete control . With 8 minutes to go they won a corner .

After an expert delivery the ball was bouncing in the eighteen yard

box . Centre back Caoimhe Creighton managed to control her half

volley and direct it into the net to finish the game of as a contest .
