Bray won a tight game 2-1. Played well in patches but Athlone will be disapointed to not have taken us to extra-time. They were on the attack when the ref blew the final whistle as well (though I was looking away at the time). After the pre-season defeats I'm glad that the lads got a win under their belts, can't hurt!

Yep, Brian McCarthy was just striking the ball as the whistle went! Disappointing, we were alseep for the
first and last 5 minutes and Bray pounced. Ref decisions were dodgy enough for both sides! I thought
we lost the game in midfield though, little or no impact.

Congrats to Bray though, ye had the killer instinct that we were missing. Brutal crowd but as usual the
people who were there were sound.

thanks.. bray had a killer instinct,, jaysus they are very strange words to be using for a bray team, but lets hope we will use them again this year, good to get a win before the league starts..

Yeah, perhaps killer instinct was a bit too complimentary

... but ye took 2 chances when we were asleep and than was the difference!

Was a good hard game of football, well at least the last 30 minutes in which i seen, lets see if we can win this cup as we are a cup team, or will eddie play a weaker team when the season is in full flow?

He struck it wide though! Bray had all the possession but still managed to look a bit suspect at the back. Good luck to Athlone for the season ahead.

The scoreline was tight but Bray were very comfprtable throughout i thought, Athlone caused little or no trouble in the 2nd half to Kanes net, can't remember him having a save of note to make. O'Neill, Kelly and Mulroy all linked up really well and had plenty of good chances to finish the game off earlier. I was pretty much in line with the winner and i thought O'Neill was offside when he 1st got the through ball. Good to get a win under our belts even if it was the LSC.
