Match Preview - Athlone Town v Bray Wanderers June 27

In the last club fixture in the month of June, Bray will make the trip to Westmeath on Friday to take on Athlone. 

Currently 19 points separate the two teams in the charts, with Wanderers in third spot and the Midlanders in tenth position. 

Seagulls First Team Coach Paul Heffernan is looking to end the run of poor results of late. 

“It’s a long season and it’s not going to go smoothly for all 36 games; most teams will go through a tough spell at some stage. But what separates the good teams from the rest is how they respond to it”, he said. 

“We have a full belief in these players and how we want to play, and we must go to Athlone and put in a positive performance.” 

 

 

The Wicklow side are boosted by the news that defenders Harvey Warren and Benjamin Fagbemi as well as midfielder Rhys Bartley have all resumed first team training this week. 

 

 

When the teams met last April at the Athlone Town Stadium, Conor Knight sealed a 1-0 away win for Wanderers. 

In the return fixture last May at the Carlisle Grounds, Bray won 3-1 with goals by Harvey Warren, Conor Knight, and Billy O’Neill. Klye Robinson pulled one back for the visitors.
