Cork City 1-1 Bray Wanderers

[KR's Post]

After a horrible pre season, things are looking up for the Seagulls as they left turners cross with a well deserved point on friday night. A packed cross was silenced on 79mins when substitue Stephen Fox rifled in an equaliser that will surely be a contender for goal of the month. After Behans opener, things were looking bleek for the Wanderers as attck after attack troubled the bray defence. Fenns goal was then disallowed and the Bray fans were relieved that the Wanderers didn't go 2 goals down with what would of been a terrible easy goal to concede . The introduction of Fox spurred bray on and They put a Talented City under alot of pressure. 100 or so Bray fans crammed into the small away section and sang for the full 90 minutes and for 20 or so minutes after the final whistle as we waited for our heroes to return to the pitch. FEED THE FOX AND HE WILL SCORE rang out throughout turners cross as the goalscorer was saluted by the magnificent support. City players and fans will be dissapointed and will go on and on and on about the penalty decision that never was, but they must accept that they drew with a team that matched there flow of football... Bring on the COLLEGE ;)

Thought Bray deserved the point on 90 minutes of play. Cork should have wrapped the game up in the first half. What a save by Skippy from Kearney's header - like Gordan Banks in 1970 world cup. Can't believe it stayed out. Foxy's introduction for the inexpierenced McGrorry turned the game. Cork had no real chances in the second half. The pitch in Turners Cross is not great. Dalymount, Inchicore & Longford are as bad. Bray's surface is probably the best in the league so we might struggle against the top sides at home. Great crowd. Bray have raised theri game this season and put in two good performances in front of big crowds this season. A far cry from playing in front of 300 or 400 in the first division.

Full marks to Bray for playing according to well laid plans. Ye fully deserved a point in return for the performance, and to be honest, when you add City's dismal performance, all three points should have gone to Wicklow. :(
Regarding THAT SAVE, Skippy better watch out or he will be on his way to riches in the SPL or the English Premiership!
