Byrne picks up soccer writers award for May

Bray Wanderers 34 year old striker Jason Byrne has been named Airtricity soccer writers player of the month for May.
May was a good month for Byrne who hit five goals in seven games for the seagulls. The highlight of these goals has to be the 90th minute equalizer against St.Pats to level the game 3-3.


However despite this award Byrne is fully focused on pushing up the table and his attention has now turned to tomorrow's match against Drogheda United. Speaking to www.rte.ie Byrne said,

“It’s a really big game for us on Friday night. Drogheda, of course, beat us 4-2 already this year, although we didn’t help ourselves having a man sent-off at 1-1,” said Byrne.

“The break has been good. We really needed to recharge the batteries after a great but a testing month of May. It was tough with so many games in a short period of time.”

However Byrne was also quick to heap praise on the younger players around him.

“I am really enjoying my football and being back at Bray. People may say it’s an achievement to score goals but, really, a lot of it is due to the young lads around me,” Byrne said.

“It’s great playing in a team with the Kieran (Waters) and Adam (Hanlon), who are full of energy and put the ball into the box when needed. They’ve been a huge help to me.”
