Match Preview - Bray Wanderers v Wexford FC

Bray will look to get back to winning ways as they face a play-off six-pointer against rivals Wexford at the Carlisle Grounds on Friday. 

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

Just two points currently separate the two clubs in the table – with the Wicklow team in fifth position and the Slaneysiders in sixth place. 

 

 

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

 

 

Back in January, when the clubs faced off in the Leinster Senior Cup, Thomas Morgan’s goal was the difference in a 1-0 victory for Bray ay Whitehall. 

When the teams met back at the end of March, Wexford won 4-3 at the Carlisle Grounds. 

Cristian Magerusan gave the Seasiders the lead. A Mikie Rowe double put the visitors ahead before an Own Goal levelled the tie at 2-2. 

Aaron Dobbs put the away outfit 3-2 in front, but Cole Omorehiomwan grabbed an equaliser. Thomas Oluwa popped up with a late winner from the penalty spot. 

But in the reverse fixture at Ferrycarrig Park last May, the Green and White’s won 2-1. 

Rowe put the home team ahead. But a quick fire double by Magerusan midway through the second half saw Wanderers take the points.
