In what was an enthralling quarter final on Friday morning it was the north Wicklow side who eventually came out on top in this thirteen goal thriller.
It was a dream start for Pres in Bray as they ran into a very early lead with goals from Joshua Delaney and Conor Cooney, along with two white flags from Cooney. The early lead was canceled out by quick fire points from Nathan Lenehan before a goal from Cillian McLernon. Leaving a goal between the sides after ten minutes.
Playing with the wing Bray made it count with a fine score from wing back Patrick Coneely before Cooney and Harry Tighe slotted over along with another goal this time from opposite wing back Cameron Dalton just on the quarter hour mark.
A Lenehan minor along with a second goal from McLernon has the Laois side firmly back in the tie. These were canceled out by Delaney and Tighe quickly down the far end. A third green flag this time from Jack Flanagan had the Midlands side back in the tie. This was until Cooney managed to fire into the net down the far end after his side had been kept out on three occasions by the Dunamase goalie Harry McGree.
The second half began with Cooney finishing his hat trick before tagging another point. Not to be outdone, McLernon completed his down the far end as both attacks were flourishing. A trio of points came for the home side as Cillian Kerans,Tighe and then Oscar Nolan managed to fire over against the breeze inside the opening quarter of the half.
Pres started to empty the bench and an injury from the opposition meant it was going to thirteen a side. It was substitute Louis Johnston who rattled the net . The Laois side kept the pressure on with a free from McLernon before Lenehan finished a fine move into the back of the net before Sean Mulhall squeezed an effort over from a narrow angle.
The final ten minutes saw Kearns and Delaney adding to their tally along with another goal from McClernon.
The final score of the game came from substitute Cian McDonald to ensure a semi final berth for the Wicklow side.
