A second half revival saw the Wanderers claim a comeback win in their first 2022 pre-season outing.

The Seagulls made a full line-out substitution at half time against a squad from the 2021 Premier Division champions' stable, which had already fielded a full team against Longfird, and featured a number of Under-19 and Under-17 players from the 2021 strength.

The Hoops took a 13th minute lead through Aidomo Emakhu and doubled it seven minutes before the interval with a strike by Conan Noonan.

The hosts waited until the second period was well under way before making wholesale changes to their own XI.

Bray pulled one back on the hour mark when Vilius Labutis burst into the box and fired to the net.

Having been denied moments earlier, Hugh Douglas levelled matters on 73 when he powered in a Conor Knight corner with a bullet header.

Right on full time, Labutis again wriggled free inside the box after a mazy run to drive in the winning score.
