Lethal Limerick crush Bray

Bray Wanderers 0 Limerick FC 4

Stuart Taylor’s men have now moved into sixth place, a point clear of Shamrock Rovers.

Bray almost took a sensational lead in the first minute when a cross by defender Kevin Knight was volleyed against an upright by veteran striker Jason Byrne.

However, Limerick opened their account on 17 minutes when a Danny Galbraith cross was brilliantly chipped over the advancing Quigley by Bossekota.

Four minutes later the Belgian striker was left unmarked to sidefoot home a Tracy cross from close range.

Bray had another opportunity when Byrne’s effort was pushed round the post by Barry Ryan and the Seagulls were left to regret that miss when an angled 35-yard free by Tracy stretched Limerick’s lead ten minutes before the interval.

Another superb free-kick by Tracy made the points safe for the Shannonsiders on 64 minutes.
