Seagulls pay the penalty as Kuduzovic salvages it for City

ALTHOUGH last night’s tie was to be a wake for a lost club, Cork City supporters may have instead witnessed the death rattle of Bray Wanderers’ survival hopes at Turner’s Cross

On a day of high drama off the pitch, the Leesiders overcame their visitors, who were reduced to 10 men after an hour, thanks to a Faz Kuduzovic penalty after 36 minutes, leaving the Seagulls firmly rooted to the bottom of the league table as we enter the business end of the season.

After a week of massive uncertainty surrounding the embattled club’s future, the game was thrown into further doubt when torrential rain on Leeside compelled ground staff to re-mark the pitch while volunteers swept sheets of rainwater from the surface.
