Bray find way to put the brakes on Sligo

AIRTRICITY LEAGUE PREMIER DIVISION:

The Bit O’Red named an unchanged starting line-up from their 3-0 crushing of Derry City — meaning that leading goalscorer Anthony Elding had to be content with a place on the substitutes’ bench on his return from suspension. But even his 56th-minute introduction failed to produce the spark on a frustrating night for Ian Baraclough’s champions.

The Seagulls could have fallen behind in the seventh minute. Eoin Hyland’s clearance clearly struck a Sligo man on its way out, but linesman Lee Bevans awarded the throw-in to the visitors. Sligo took it quickly and worked it into lone striker Aaron Greene, who laid it off to David Cawley, but the midfielder’s late run didn’t yield a goal as he bent his effort wide.
