Match Preview - Dundalk v Bray Wanderers

First Team Coach Paul Heffernan has told the Bray Wanderers players to embrace the First Division top of the table clash with Dundalk. 

For the first time since May 2018, the Seasiders will make the trip to Oriel Park on Friday in League action. 

Four points currently separate the two clubs in first and second place in the table, with Heffernan calling upon his young charges to make the most of the occasion. 

“It’s a top of the table clash in front what is to be a big crowd, and hopefully, a big travelling support too” he said. 

“We want the players to embrace that and express themselves. We have full belief in what we are capable. So, we must go and show that on Friday.” 

 

 

Full back Kyle Degelman has resumed training. 

Striker Danú Kinsella Bishop has joined the defensive duo of Paul Murphy and Dylan Barnett on the sidelines. 

Irish schools international captain Alian Kizenga is also doubtful. 

 

 

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.
