Byrne spot-on as Bray continue surge up the table

Bray Wanderers made it three leagues win in-a-row as penalties in either half from Jason Byrne proved enough to sink his former club at Oriel Park last night.

The brace of spot kicks brought the veteran striker’s tally for the season to seven – one more than he managed in the whole of last season for the Lilywhites – as Pat Devlin’s side continued their surge up the table.

While Byrne was the matchwinner, it was the lively Kieran ‘Marty’ Waters who was the real difference between the sides. The 22-year-old won both penalties for the Seagulls to liven up an otherwise dull affair.
