FAI Cup Match Preview - Bray Wanderers v Shelbourne

For the second time in three years, Bray welcome Premier Division leaders Shelbourne to the Carlisle Grounds on Sunday in the second round of the Sports Direct FAI Cup. 

First Team coaches Lorcan Fitzgerald and Paul Heffernan will again take charge of Wanderers’ team affairs. 

 

 

Shelbourne is a team that I hold close to my heart having supported them growing up. I had the privilege to play for them all the way through from 

schoolboys to the first team. I have so many fond memories from my time at the club but make no mistake about it – we are looking to go out and beat them to progress through the next round of the Cup. 

 

 

Defenders Jamie Duggan and Evan Osam are ruled out for the Green and White’s along with striker Cristian Magerusan. 

 

 

Shelbourne are the club Bray have faced the most times in the FAI Cup. 

Sunday’s game will be the 12th meeting of the teams in the competition. 

The sides were drawn together at the same stage of the competition only two seasons ago with Shelbourne running out 3-0 winners.
