Sloppy Bray Wanderers drop points for the first time to Kerry FC

Kerry FC made history at Mounthawk Park by taking points off Bray Wanderers for the first time. Bray led 2-0 and appeared in control during the second period, but Kerry’s Matt Britton scored twice to level the match. Britton’s first goal came on 66 minutes and reduced Wanderers to 10 men. His second goal arrived two minutes into stoppage time, leaving the visitors shell-shocked. Kerry made two enforced changes after suspensions, with Kyle Tucker and Richard Ferizaj coming in. Ifu Achara created early chances, including a shot that clipped the crossbar. Ben McCormack’s play helped set up opportunities, while Bray continued to press with crosses and attacking moves.

"History was made at Mounthawk Park as Kerry FC took points off Bray Wanderers for the first time in their history. But the sloppy Seagulls will rue two dropped points as they were 2-0 up and cruising in the second period before a Matt Britton brace rescued a point for the Munster men."

"The County Wicklow club were also reduced to 10 men upon the concession of Britton's first goal on 66 minutes, and he left Wanderers shell-shocked as he rattled home a leveller two minutes into stoppage time."

"There were just two - enforced - changes from the side that defeated UCD last week as Kyle Tucker and Richard Ferizaj replaced the suspended duo of Cian Doyle and Alain Kizegna. Ifu Achara had netted a delightful effort at the Belfield Bowl and almost repeated the trick after eight minutes in Mounthawk Park."

"On 17 minutes, the home side cheaply gave away possession, and an outstanding pass from McCormack found Achara down the right channel. He delivered a low cross that would have been a tap-in for Ring, but Matt Connor read it well and claimed it at his near post."
