Match Preview - Bray Wanderers v Athlone Town Friday May 16

After two away matches on the spin, Bray return to the Carlisle Grounds on Friday for the first of three successive home games before the summer break. 

With Athlone Town the visitors to the seaside, Wanderers will look to continue their recent good form on their own patch. 

"We can’t drop our levels by even 1% against any team in this league," said First Team Coach Paul Heffernan. 

"Athlone have lost only one game in their last five matches. So, we are well aware of the challenge we will face." 

 

 

Midfielder Cian Doyle is suspended. 

Richard Ferizaj is on U16 Republic of Ireland duty in Poland. 

With wing back Kyle Degelman having resumed training, striker Danú Kinsella Bishop has also rejoined the squad sessions. 

The defensive duo of Paul Murphy and Dylan Barnett remain on the sidelines. 

 

 

When the teams met last April at the Athlone Town Stadium, Bray won 1-0 through Conor Knight’s first half goal.
