Bray win nine-goal thriller

Bray Wanderers 6 Athlone Town 3

Bray came from behind three times to book their passage through to the third round in 9-goal thriller at the Carlisle Grounds.

A brace from Stephen Gavin and another goal from Micky McCann had Town in front three times inside 25 minutes.

But each time Bray pegged them back with strikes from Stephen Fox, Declan O'Brien and Ciaran Ryan and all before the interval.

Bray then took over after the break with Irish youth star Eamon Zayed scoring twice either side of Colm Tresson's goal of the match on 70 minutes.
