Rsh scoreline away to Wanderers

As the game opened up, both sides were giving up chances.

With the third goal likely to be the decider, Panit O’Keeffe played Ellis through and the striker finished past Seán Maher to restore Bray’s advantage.

The Ferrycarrig boys threw players forward in the hope of grabbing an equaliser. Levingston’s free-kick was just about kept out by Coffey before Brian Byrne kept the Bray ‘keeper on his toes with a low but easily-saved effort.

The best chance of an equaliser fell to Smithers when he wriggled himself free but couldn’t connect with his shot from just twelve yards out.

A misplaced Maher pass put the final nail in Wexford’s coffin.

The wayward pass allowed Byron O’Gorman to side-foot into an open net from 35 yards and finish off the visitors with four minutes of injury time remaining.

Wexford’s penultimate game of the league season will see them face top of the table Shamrock Rovers next weekend in Ferrycarrig Park.
