Bray Wanderers 1-5 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Thanks to www.braywanderers.ie
BRAY WANDERERS 1 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 5
Bray hosted Wolverhampton Wanderers in what was for the visitors a pre-season friendly, with the home team blooding again several players who will be hoping to break through to the senior ranks.
If there was ever a game of two halves, this was one: Bray equalising and holding their equality to the break. A completely new eleven faced them after the break, and created a new dynamic.
It took barely past the quarter hour before the guests opened their account, Frank Nouble firing from a narrow angle on to the bar and then the far post into the back of the net.
Just after the half hour, however, Kieran "Marty" Waters capitalised on a Conor Butler corner, nipping in on a Kevin Foley backpass to take possession, rolling it under Carl Ikeme before Ikeme rolled over the striker, who ended up stretchered off.
Wolves fielded two completely different elevens in each half. The second period team proved a sterner challenge as Bray's substitutions continued.
Less than an hour in, Fletcher's overhead kick deceived Brian Kane who got a touch to it but couldn't keep it out.
Four minutes later Matt Jarvis doubled the visitors' advantage, and Matt Doherty rocketed home a fourth with less than ten minutes left.
And Fletcher, fielding a long diagonal ball perfectly timed by Michael Kightly, fired home with ease for the finisher.

Team news for trip to Tallaght
Thanks to www.braywanderers.ie
Kieran Marty Waters who was sent off against Shelbourne last Friday night will miss Bray's trip to Tallaght Stadium for their televised clash with Shamrock Rovers on Friday night also missing will be Ger Pender who picked up a serious shin injury against Scunthorpe on Tuesday night. They will be Bray's only absentees as Captain Danny O'Connor and fellow defender Adam Mitchell return following their suspensions for the Shelbourne game. Also back in the squad are defender Dave Webster, who missed Bray's last two outings with a knee injury and midfielder Sean Houston who sat out last weeks game with a thigh strain.
Speaking after last weeks defeat to Shelbourne Bray's Director of Football Pat Devlin said he felt his side were unlucky against Shelbourne and will be hoping to put that right on Friday at Tallaght Stadium.
Looking ahead to Friday Devlin said "We are back to full strength now, games between ourselves and Rovers have been great games and I expect Friday night to be no different.
********* Bray and Rovers have each recorded just one win in their last six outings in the League.
********* When the sides met in April at the Carlisle Grounds,it ended in stalemate with the sides sharing four goals. Kieran Marty Waters netted both Bray goals.
******* Last season Bray won the first two meetings between the sides with Rovers winning the final two games.Rovers scored seven goals to Bray's five.
****** Over the last two seasons Rovers have won four of the League meetings between the sides, Bray have won two and two have ended in draws.
Wanderers sign 2 more

18 y/o Paul Moffatt joins from Shamrock Rovers and 21 y/o Ryan Dooney signs from Malahide United.

BRAY WANDERERS 0 SCUNTHORPE UNITED 1
While Bray might have hoped for a result from this early friendly, pre-season for the visitors, they were left to rue a few missed chances in what was a relativley well-balanced match.
Wanderers made four changes after a tentative first half, during which neither side had more than a couple of chances.
Scunthorpe made one substitution a couple of minutes later, and it paid off almost immediately, Andy Barcham receiving a fine ball forward from Josh Walker and working his way across the Seagulls' back four one by one before contriving a shooting opportunity.
A further three Bray subs came within minutes, followed by what seemed an entire team change for the Iron, and though the visitors had more chances after that, they failed to increase their advantage.
Mid-way through the second period, however, Bray substitute Ger Pender pulled up following a clash with Callum Howe, and was in evident distress.
A lengthy delay ensued while the Bray player was attended to on the pitch, and following his departure veteran Colm Tresson took his place.
With commendable grace, referee Paul Tuite blew the game up inside regulation time, with honours relatively even in a fine warm-up for both sides.
