Seagulls stunned as Shels steal victory

A late goal from former Bray Wanderers player Paddy Kavanagh enabled Shelbourne to record their seventh league win of the season in a tense encounter at the Carlisle Grounds last night.

Shelbourne had an early chance when winger Kavanagh slotted through a perfect ball to striker Philip Gorman, who rounded keeper Darren Quigley but then shot into the side-netting.

John Mulroy went close for Bray when he outpaced Andy Boyle but then sent his delicate chip shot just over the bar.
