FAI Cup Match Preview - Finn Harps v Bray Wanderers

With two clubs intrinsically linked since the 1999 FAI Cup final trilogy, Bray travel of Donegal on Friday to face Finn Harps with a Quarter Final place on offer. 

Wanderers will be making the 530km round journey to Finn Park for the second time in just 12 days as they bid to make the last eight of the competition for the first time since 2015. 

“It should be an exciting Cup tie with both sides fancying their chances to progress to a Quarter Final” said First Team Coach Paul Heffernan. 

“We know all about what Finn Harps are going to bring to the game. But we are more focused on ourselves, and we need to make sure we perform to our level.” 

 

 

The Seagulls are boosted by the news that defender Harvey Warren, midfielder Jamie Ryan and on-loan winger Matthew Britton have all resumed first-team training. 

But midfielder Sean Brennan and striker Danú Kinsella Bishop are both doubts. 

 

 

This will be the tenth meeting of the club’s in the FAI Cup. 

Bray have won twice; Finn Harps have three victories while the other four matches have been drawn. 

It is the first tie to be played between the teams in Donegal in the Cup since January 1998.
