Finishes 2-0 to Bray - they were clinical with their chances in the second half, while Kerry failed to take advantage of their good spell in the first.
Jay Ben and Afolabi made the difference in the second half. Definitely deserved the draw.

Would agree, worried that we only play for 45 mins though. Talbot was gash, but don’t be letting coote away either, that’s two in a row stinkers from him . Keepers are easy cause mistake equals goal but midfield is where it’s at, and we’ve not had all 5 play as one all season .Mind you, come away from Oriel with a point after a ****ebag first 45? Take that all day.
Routine for Waterford,little resistance from a very poor Harps team….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Staying over tonight in Wexford what a performance compared to last week! this Brianan Whitmarsh is some signing he was immense for us. One of our backroom staff was telling me that hes signed with us till the next transfer window. One of the Premiership clubs are heavily linked with him. Same with his younger brother at Cork City!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Has Dave Rogers deleted his twitter yet?

Needed that tonight. 3 losses in a row with no goals scored would really start to get you worried.
For all the talk of getting a slice of the betting tax, you would want to be mad to bet on the LOI as you just have no idea a lot of the time who the hell will come away with the points. It really is a crazy league!
While we created a ton of chances tonight…. It did have a sense that Drogs were comfortable enough. Two class goals to be fair too.
Hopefully the kick up the hole needed for us at home…. 15 goals conceded (most of f them the same - on the break) at home vs 2 away in a game less
Once Galway got the second goal (great work by Manley in build-up) it was fairly comfortable against a Limerick side who started well and will be rightly unhappy about the penalty given for handball against them. Went over to the grass terrace for the second half and noticed that the stand has a much smaller crowd in it than I thought when sitting there. Also Horgan would be better off cutting out some of his antics. Strange choice for second sub by Caulfield also.
Huge gap now between the top two and the rest in the Premier. I can't see them both not coming up - which will make for interesting promotion/relegation races next season. And probably fairly clear-cut ones the season after
Both of Drogheda's goals tonight were great, the second in particular was brilliant stuff from the move to the finish. Fair play.
Thought Pats did well tonight. Can see why Shels have been so tough to beat this season, they're a bit miserable style-wise (I'd imagine it'd be a lot better had they not had so many out injured) but set up well and make a slog out of it. I like they we actually managed to keep control of the game and were willing to rack up possession/passes and pick our moments because it's something you wouldn't have seen much preciously. Got the goal, Shels came out more and then chances came for both sides but ultimately we had the better of them and it should have been a more comfortable scoreline.
Forrester great again and in news to nobody Sam Curtis is just an unbelievable prospect. Worth a mention is Tom Grivosti, he flew under the radar last season with all the plaudits Redmond received but he's been solid for us and what was a messy defence with both of them out injured this season looks a lot better with him back in it.
All fairly routine at the Brandywell. The second and third goals involved some lovely touches.
Maher was raging to concede, but Wells deserved his goal for his quick reactions in the box. Our first goal conceded in the last four games.
Not even that much of a surprise that Drogs picked up in the win in Tallaght, ourselves and Rovers don't have good records against them.
I know it's a new, mostly young team, but Harps are shipping some amount of goals this season. Being a recent Premier team, and with the First table quite compact, do the fans have any expectation of a playoff spot? Surely that must have been the pre-season target?
I think most fans were realistic that this season was a total rebuild and had low expectations. I think 5th was the target, and it still is the target. A lot will depend on the summer transfer window. Two good young players already signed, and a few will likely depart too, as we don't have the budget to be adding to the squad.
A couple of wins can change a lot, and a young side low in confidence is shipping a lot of goals lately after a reasonable start to the season.
The target is always going to be next season. There's always going to be noise when you go down to a few heavy defeats. But the job Rogers has on his hands is arguably bigger than anything Ollie Horgan faced. People need to realise that we blew enormous money on utter rubbish last season, and I think Ollie got an easy run of it from Harps supporters, given how successful he was for years at getting us into the Premier and keeping us there, but realistically, we should have booted him last July, had a bit of a clearout, and saved money for this season. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Play off was definitely the expectation,it was the manager’s expectation aswell but he hasn’t put together a squad capable of it unfortunately,we’re shipping goals and incapable of scoring,set pieces have been our main supply of goals.
Very disappointing all in all but he’s on a 4 year contract so he’s not going anywhere anytime soon….

Harps have a collection of players who aren't up to it but they're also really poorly set up and extremely disorganised. Going on about Ollie Horgan again is complete deflection and embarassing to read.
