Premier

A much-needed boost to Bray's morale, despite it's happening before one of the lowest league attendances in the Premier Division this season.

Pats were dominant for much of the first half, but couldn't find the net.

The Seagulls came more into it towards the break, and an early second half breakthrough by Cory Galvin set them on their way.

Darragh Gibbons came up from the back four to double the Wanderers lead a quarter of an hour later.

But when Thomas Byrne pulled one back for the Saints with three minutes of normal time remaining, visions of another disappearing lead began to bother the small home crowd.

However, Daniel Kelly settled the matter two minutes into time added, restoring the home two-goal cushion.

The night ended miserably for the Inchicore outfit, with goalscorer Byrne seeing red from Referee Paul McLaughlin in the final seconds.
