PAT DEVLIN and his Bray Wanderers players remain firmly on course for promotion despite being held by Kildare County in a lacklustre tie at the Carlisle Grounds.
A victory for fourth placed Kildare would have left them just a point behind the Seagulls, who currently occupy the third automatic promotion spot, but this game always looked destined to end in stalemate.
The first real opportunity fell to the visitors on 13 minutes, but right-back Ger O'Brien shot straight at Bray 'keeper Chris O'Connor.
Bray went close two minutes later when Kieran O'Brien's blistering 25-yard drive was tipped over the crossbar by Brendan Kennedy.
The home team had strong appeals for a penalty turned down when Kieran O'Brien was bundled over and then Eamon Zayed shot wide from only six yards in stoppage time.
BRAY WDS - O'Connor, Gifford, Farrell, Lynch, Charles, Gormley, James, Fox, Zayed, O'Brien (McGrory 75), Flood.
KILDARE COUNTY - Kennedy, O'Brien, O'Donnell, Kenny, Byrne, Scully, Griffin (Zellor 66), Harte, Francis (McKenna 74), O'Connor, Reilly.
REF - Tom Connelly (Dublin).
