bray v galway- beat you to it roo
Starting in attack mode but with little to show for it, the home side were almost undone just before the quarter hour when Derek O'Brien beat the offside trap and two defenders to put himself clear on a ball out of defence, but Bray 'keeper Chris O'Connor dived feet first to block his shot, and the ball was eventually cleared away after two more half-chances for the Westerners went a-begging.
Earlier a sequence of corners to the home side produced little, with Colm Tresson on his first appearance in nearly two months getting too little with his header at the end.
Both sides were raiding deep into enemy territory, with Dave Goldby and Colin Fortune proving a handful for a weakened Bray defence, and Ronan Frawley was narriowly wide just before the half hour having made a late rush in anticipation of Fortune's half-way free.
