Match Preview - Bray Wanderers v Dundalk July 11 2025

With the biggest crowd of the 2025 season so far expected to make it to the Carlisle Grounds on Friday, Bray entertain Dundalk in the top of the table clash. 

Currently nine points separate the two teams in the charts, with Wanderers in third spot and the Lilywhites sitting at the top of the charts. 

The last five home outgoings by the seaside had seen over 1,000 spectators on each occasion coming through the turnstiles. 

“It’s an exciting game for all of us, another chance to show we can compete with the best teams in this League” stated First Team Coach Paul Heffernan whose side have won just one game less than the Louth team from the 22 League fixtures so far in the campaign. 

“We are ready to give it everything, and we need the supporters to bring the energy and noise, and get fully behind the team.” 

 

 

Defender Harvey Warren and midfielder Jamie Ryan have resumed first team training this week. 

 

 

When the teams met last March at the Carlisle Grounds, Dundalk won 3-1. 

Daryl Horgan, Dean Ebbe and Eoin Kenny all scored for the visitors before Max Murphy pulled one back for the Wicklow club from the penalty spot. 

At Oriel Park back in May, it finished 2-2. 

Sean McHale gave the Railwaymen the lead. Kilian Cantwell equalised before Harry Warren put the Seagulls in front. But Gbemi Arubi equalised in stoppage time.
