Dundalk’s Euro hopes dented

DUNDALK’S hopes of a late push to secure European football for next season were dealt a major blow at home to Bray Wanderers last night after the Louth men were held to their 10th draw of the season.

With many of their big names returning from injury, Ian Foster’s side knew that a win could have seen them leapfrog Bohemians into sixth place in the table.

However, despite Mark Quigley firing them ahead from the spot on 14 minutes, they failed to build on that early goal and needed the former St Patrick’s Athletic striker to bail them out with a second half equaliser after goals either side of half-time from Danny O’Connor and Dean Zambra had briefly put the visitors in front.
