Bray's Under-19s neared the end of their season with a fractious loss to Cork City at Bishopstown.

The Leesiders, who still need points to make a place safe in the Play-offs, struck twice in quick succession just inside the hour.

Earlier, Paddy Obijuru had given the visitors the lead, capitalising on defensive weakness, but that was cancelled out by a good finish by Cork's Connor Ellis after the opportunity had been developed by Cian Coleman and Kevin Taylor.

Minutes later, a Bray corner had to be cleared off the line, but the scoreline remained unchanged to the break.

Ten minutes after the re-start, Gavin Sheridan did well to deny Ellis a second when the former Kinsale man dived to get a head to substitute Timmy Murphy's cross.

From the corner kick, however, Liam Cronin finished well, and four minutes later he repeated the dose from another Stuart Murphy flag-kick.

And though Paul Murphy popped up with a late consolation, there was no time to claim a leveller and the game ended in ill-discipline, resulting in both Tommy Rowan and Oscar Brennan getting their marching orders.
