MATCH PREVIEW: Bray Wanderers Vs Galway United (Men’s First Division)

ABOUT THE OPPOSITION ℹ️

🏟: Bray Wanderers are based in the coastal town of Bray, and play in the Carlisle Grounds, which has a capacity of just over 3,000.

ℹ️: Bray Wanderers were founded in 1942 and are nicknamed “The Seagulls”

: The Seagulls sit in seventh place in the SSE Airtricity Men’s First Division, with 35 points from 29 games, they’re looking to keep the momentum going after last weeks away win in Kerry.

: A key player for them this season Ben Feeney, Feeney is an exciting attacker for Bray and has scored nine goals for them in the league so far, he always poses a threat in every game he plays and even in our last game against Bray caused a lot of danger, he’s certainly one to keep an eye on Friday evening.

ABOUT GALWAY UNITED 🇱🇻

⏪: United’s last game was a 1-0 loss away to Longford Town, United had the majority of chances but Longford defended resolutely and saw out their one goal lead. United are looking to bounce back this evening against the seagulls.

Bray had a very good win in Kerry at the weekend, they’ve got a few goalscorers back into the team, Creaven and Walker are back in the team. We’re looking forward to the game, they’re trying to make the play-offs, so it will have be a good performance from us
