Seagulls hold Shelbourne

Bray Wanderers and Shelbourne must fight it out again in a replay at Tolka Park on Monday after the teams had to settle for a share of the spoils in last night’s FAI Ford Cup second round tie at the Carlisle Grounds.

A draw was probably the right result with last year’s beaten finalists Shelbourne dominating the opening 45 minutes. But it was a completely different Bray side in the second half, with the least Pat Devlin’s side deserved being a second bite of the cherry.

Shels took the lead on 35 minutes when a left-footed Barry Clancy free on the right from 30 yards sailed high into the net.
