Bray Wanderers VS Kerry FC Match Preview – League of Ireland First Division

After a frustrating draw against Cobh Ramblers at St. Colman’s Park last Friday, the Seagulls now turn their attention to a home clash with Kerry FC this Friday at the Carlisle Grounds.

Bray Wanderers looked set to claim all three points in their last outing, only for Jason Abbott to equalise late on and deny them victory. The result was a setback, as a win could have seen Bray close the gap on Cork City.

Meanwhile, Kerry come into this fixture off the back of a fortunate win against Finn Harps. Despite being under pressure for much of the game, they secured all three points thanks to a 25th-minute goal from Cian Murphy.
