Honours even at Richmond Park

St Patrick’s Athletic 1 Bray Wanderers 1

Three players were sent off as Chris O’Connor rescued a point for Bray with a brilliant second-half save tonight.

Dave Partridge rose well to head home Gareth O’Connor’s 31st-minute corner to give St Pat’s a deserved lead.

Bray responded in the second half and Dave Mulcahy volleyed them level on 55 minutes from Dane Massey’s free-kick.

Five minutes later Mulcahy was sent off along with St Pat’s midfielder John Lester after the two squared up to each other following a bad tackle by Mulcahy.

O’Connor’s moment then came on 74 minutes when he touched Mark Quigley’s free-kick onto a post and out for a corner.

A minute later Bray had substitute Chris Deans dismissed for a second booking following a foul on Stephen Maher.
