Souness piles praise on Bray

Graeme Souness has praised eircom League outfit Bray Wanderers for giving his Blackburn side a tough workout ahead of their Premiership campaign.

The English side beat Wanderers 4-0 at the Carlisle Grounds on Saturday with goals from Barry Ferguson, Jonathan Stead, Nils-Eric Johansson and Lorenzo Amoruso. But manager Souness said the result barely reflected the test Pat Devlin’s side posed nor the pressure put on their goalkeeper Peter Enckelman at the other end.
