Waterford strike-forceback for Bray game

WATERFORD UNITED manager Jimmy McGeough welcomed the return to fitness of regulars David Mulcahy, Vinny Sullivan and Darryl Murphy in time for tonight’s FAI Carlsberg Cup tie against Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds, but may again have to cater for the absence of team skipper John Frost.

McGeough was without any of his first team strikers when Waterford lost 0-1 to Longford Town at Flancare Park last week, so he is likely to throw Sullivan and Murphy straight into action against Bray even though they have not trained recently.

Both are lively strikers when in form and Waterford will need the firepower if they are to overcome an experienced Bray. The teams swopped places last season with Waterford coming up to the premier division and Bray going down and while Waterford will be cautious of Bray's depth of experience they will set out to see them off at the first attempt.
