Bray

Last Season: 8th

Coach: Johnny Harte (second spell, 1st season)
Players In: Sarah Coleman (Genesis), Katie Burgess (St Gerard’s), Erin O’Sullivan (Perth, Australia)

Players Out: Elaine Brommell (Catholic Institute), Sarah Scott

Summary: Johnny Harte returns to the club he helped promote two seasons ago after a year with Fingal’s men, this time to be assisted by Richard Rellis. He inherits a squad which has changed dramatically with Janet Murphy and Sheryl O’Toole both taking a year out while Sarah Scott and Elaine Bromell move on after a year with the club.

Katie Burgess is a talented teenager to add to the squad; Nicky Dignam returns as does Erin O’Sullivan while former Irish internationals Catherine Little and Linda O’Neill provide the midfield strength.

How they cope with all the to-ing and fro-ing is their biggest task, especially in the first three weeks when they face a trip to Trinity and a home tie with Glenanne.

First three league games: Sept 26 Pembroke (h); Oct 3 Trinity (a); Oct 17 Glenanne (h)
