Cool Twigg to rescue

Shamrock Rovers salvaged a late Airtricity Premier League point when a Gary Twigg goal earned them a share of the honours with a battling Bray Wanderers side in a tense battle at the Carlisle grounds last night.

Bray have proven to be a bogey team for the Hoops in recent seasons and history looked like repeating itself when midfielder Marty Waters had given the lowly Seagulls a deserved 2-0 lead on 37 minutes.

Rovers did have one early chance when a header by striker Twigg set up the chance for Gary O’Neill, only for the latter to blast over the top from close range.
