Bradley aims for cup final

HAVING not been good enough to put First Division Shelbourne away at Tolka Park on Friday night, St Patrick’s Athletic midfielder Stephen Bradley wants a massive improvement at Richmond Park tonight for the FAI Cup semi-final replay (7.45pm).

“We’ve got to go out and improve on what we did on Friday,” said Bradley. “It was a battle and when they went down to 10 men we weren’t good enough. We didn’t pass the ball and we didn’t deserve to win the game. We just have to go out tonight and prove that we are the better team.”

Despite being Danny North’s goal to the good and with a man advantage following Colm James’ sending off, St Pat’s boss Pete Mahon wasn’t happy with his players at the break.
