Second-half goals keep Pat’s in hunt

SECOND-HALF goals from Stephen Bradley, Dave Mulcahy and Anto Murphy kept St. Patrick’s Athletic very much in Premier Division title contention with a comfortable victory over Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds last night.

St Pat’s dominate the first half, although Bray had an early appeal for a penalty turned down by Cork referee Alan Kelly when Dave Mulcahy appeared to handle a shot by midfielder Daire Doyle.

The Saints went close on 32 minutes when the always dangerous North’s glancing header was just wide.
