Bray trounce Longford 5-1

Bray Wanderers 5 Longford Town 1

Bray ended their poor run of three straight defeats in style.

Jason Byrne gave them the perfect start with the lead goal within a minute

when Colm Tresson's free-kick glanced off the head of a defender to present

the striker with a simple finish from close range.

Town hit back to level on 21 minutes. Again poor defending resulted in a

goal as Eric Lavine volleyed home from 10 yards after Alan Murphy's cross

wasn't dealt with by the Bray defence.

Byrne restored Bray's lead on 62 minutes when heading home a Stephen Fox

cross.

Barry O'Connor added the third nine minutes later from a Paul Keegan cross

with Thomas Morgan getting the pick of the night when shooting home from 20

yards 12 minutes from time.

Tresson headed home the fifth in the final minute.
