Byrne buoys Bray

A brilliant double by veteran striker Jason Byrne enabled Bray Wanderers to snatch a deserved share of the spoils against still unbeaten St Patrick’s Athletic in a six goal thriller at the Carlisle Grounds last night.

The Seagulls took the lead against the run of play on 36 minutes when Marty Waters’ low cross was swept home by Byrne from close range.

But Pat’s were level a minute before the interval when Fagan shot home from 16 yards after Pierce Sweeney failed to clear a Ger O’Brien cross from the right.
