Late O’Connor and Lyons goals sink Bray

UCD 3 Bray Wanderers 1

Both teams had early chances. First, a cross from College winger Daniel Ledwith was volleyed over by striker Dean Clarke. Then John Mulroy wasted a clear opening for Bray, after Sean Houston had set up the chance.

The Seagulls went close to breaking the deadlock on six minutes when Dean Marshall robbed defender Ciaran Nangle. When his cross was not cleared, a first-time effort by Marty Waters rebounded off the upright to safety.
