Team news for visit of Shels

Thanks to www.braywanderers.ie 

Bray Wanderers will have four first teamers missing on Friday night for their clash with Shelbourne at the Carlisle Grounds. Defender Dave Webster who missed the trip to Sligo with a knee injury hasn't recovered and will miss out again as will Sean Heuston who was suspended for the Sligo game but a thigh injury forces him out of this one. Adam Mitchell who was sent off late on last Saturday following a second yellow card is suspended as is Club Captain Danny O'Connor who has reached four penalty points. Sean Hurley is added to the squad

Speaking following last weeks draw at the Showgrounds Bray's Director of Football Pat Devlin was pleased with the point, he said "It was a good performance and you would have to be happy coming out of the Showgrounds with a point". He added " If we rode our luck a little better it could have been three points".

Looking ahead to Friday night Devlin said " It's going to be a tough one for us with so many players missing. We have to get on with it and we will have a couple of new faces in and see what we can produce".
