City bid to stretch run with win over Bray

Cork City bid to stretch their unbeaten run in all competitions this season to seven when they take on Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds this evening, but manager Tommy Dunne will have to plan without key defender Dan Murray, ruled out because of work commitments.

The Leesiders secured their first league win by beating Bohemians at Turner’s Cross on Friday night, with second-half goals from Danny Furlong and Daryl Horgan overturning Owen Heary’s opener. Bray were beaten by champions Sligo Rovers on Saturday, but after an opening night win over Shelbourne, won’t be fearful of Cork’s threat on their home patch.

Limerick, meanwhile, will throw open the gates of Thomond Park for the second time when UCD make the trip south following their harrowing 6-0 defeat to Derry City.
