Bray fightback floors Pat's

St. Patrick's Athletic 2 Bray Wanderers 3

Substitute Conor Murphy scored twice as Bray staged a remarkable comeback from 2-0 down to stun Richmond Park and take home all three points.

An own goal from defender Derek Prendergast, when he deflected Daryl Kavanagh's free-kick past his own keeper Matt Gregg, gave St. Pat's a 24th minute lead.

A towering header from defender Evan McMillan from Kavanagh's corner put St. Pat's 2-0 up three minutes into the second half.

But Murphy would make a major impact when pulling a goal back on 70 minutes.

Five minutes later, Murphy, on his senior debut, headed Bray level from Shane O'Neill's cross.

Defender Joe Kendrick then won it for Bray on 82 minutes when his free-kick took a deflection to beat Gary Rogers in the St. Pat's goal to stun the home crowd.
