Bray Wanderers scored twice in the closing two         Referee: Hugo Whoriskey
minutes of normal time and added time to earn the
three points in this First division encounter.

Wanderers went into this game sitting in fourth
position in the First division table and a place
inside the play off spots. Galway were in sixth
place but eight points adrift of a play-off spot.

The visitors opened the brighter, but the home
side responded well and their best first half
chances fell to John Flood, but he was denied on
both occasions by Galway keeper Robert Forde.
Galway missed two good opportunities when
Moran shot wide as O’Connor advanced to narrow
the angle and then Lawless took advantage of a
slip but pulled his shot across goal.

Chris O’Connor had to be at his best to save a long
range shot from Kevin Walsh in the second half.
The game changed with the introduction of Kieran
“Tarzan” O’Brien on 72 minutes.             O’Brien
announced his arrival with a brave header just
over, but when Forde could only parry Zayed’s low
cross O’Brien was quickest to react and fired to the
net. With two minutes remaining on the clock.
Zayed added a second two minutes into added
time to clinch the victory.

The Women's Game – Part 2
                                           Mícheál Ó hUanacháin

In Germany, the gymnastics clubs which were the            The Sports Mail's panel cartoon for the Rutherglen tour

sex clubs. In 1955, the DFB (which had been                men's games.
dissolved by Hitler in 1940 despite going along with the
Nazis' policies until then) issued instructions to clubs
not to form women's sections.

Russia came late to the ban, the Communist Party
banning women’s football in the Soviet Union from
1972, because it believed it was a men’s sport.

It is somewhat surprising to find that neither the
fledgling FAI nor even the deeply conservative IFA
followed London's lead in this. In both jurisdictions we
can find women's matches played on high-profile
clubs' grounds throughout the period of the 'ban'. But
that apart, the women's game got no support from the
authorities. It didn't stop them playing, largely among
themselves, though visitors are recorded too.

Even in England the ladies kept up their play. It took
them only five days after the FA's ukase in December
1921 to organise a meeting of representatives of more
than 30 teams in Liverpool, and from that came the
English Ladies Football Association, which soon had a
league of 57 teams of amateur players. It didn't last
long, but it was a straw in the wind: football's women
were not going away.

In 1925, Dick, Kerr's Ladies visited Belfast again to
take on the Fémina Sport Club of Paris, at Windsor
Park. In 1927, Rutherglen Ladies from Edinburgh
played teams in Belfast and Dublin.
Meanwhile, the Camogie Association, founded in
1904, largely due to the encouragement of Conradh na
Gaeilge, was about to run its first All-Ireland Senior
Camogie Championship in 1932, the fifth time they had
set about it. With ten counties participating, this one
would succeed – though for various reasons it wasn't
concluded until July 1933, when Dublin beat Galway in
the Final. Three of the Dublin team were players with
Bray United at the time. Their All-Ireland has been run
annually ever since, but like the association for ladies
Gaelic football the Camogie body remains technically
outside the GAA fold.

The nearest thing to a full women's soccer
international played in this period was between an Irish
selection including the redoubtable Mary Anne "Big
Molly" Seaton, possibly the best player of her

Grosvenor Park in August 1936 (the French won 4-1).
