Rising Laois soccer player marks himself in Bray Wanderers history

Laois soccer player, Peter Grogan, has equalled a scoring record for League of Ireland First Division club Bray Wanderers

The Crettyard teenager achieved the feat after netting in five consecutive games.

He is among a small list of players who have achieved this, only Colm Tresson in 2000 and Ger Pender in 2016 have achieved this feat for the club.

He is in an immense run of form, scoring six goals this season for the League of Ireland First Division side.

His record equalling goal came inside two minutes, away to Cobh Ramblers in a 2-1 loss.

Grogan had the chance to further his goal tally on Monday but although his side defeated Finn Harps 1-0, he didn’t net.

They will be back in action this Friday when his side travel to Athlone where they could leapfrog Athlone and potentially move up to second place with a win if UCD slip up in Kerry.

The Laois Forward is aiming to fire his side into the country’s Premier Division for the first time since 2018 and on his current form it may just be an achievable goal.

With Bray winning three out of their last five outings thanks to Grogan’s scoring it may not be long until we see another Laois soccer player in the top division.

Whatever happens this season for Wanderers, their top scorer Grogan will certainly be integral to the club.
