Bray Wanderers wondrous streak



Harry Kenny is one happy man after seeing how his Seagulls are looking like all around contenders, despite being out of contention for the league title and a European spot.

Still for the Boys from City, are deadlocked in a superb winning streak and playing a one of a kind football like there was no tomorrow.

So far, with wins over the Wexford Youths, Sligo Rovers, Saint Patricks Athletic, Longford Town and the most celebrated of those victories was against the current league leaders Dundalk FC, after these were enjoying their feats and success in their European run.

As the song states, there’s no stopping us now, and that is one fact filled statement for the Bray Wanderers, enjoying an amazing run in this edition of the Airtricity League of Ireland.

Recently with a win over the Dublin based Bohemians to a 2-1 score, the Gulls marked their fifth match won in a consecutive way and climbing within the league table and tied with the Sligo Rovers in fifth place with 36 points.

With every match played by the Wanderers, their Manager Harry Kenny is one happy chap and seeing how the prospects of next campaign can be a bit promising for his squad if they continue to play with such unity and brethren.

By playing a the difficult and hardened Gypsies, the Bray Wanderers saw their streak in peril, still the momentum the Seagulls are showing off playing a one of a kind football and being at home in Carlisle Grounds. 

Showing off their amazing football not even the clock had marked four minutes, when the locals via their forward Ger Pender putting a shoot from 14 yards to beat the Bohs keeper Shane Supple, for the first score of the game.

The frenzy did not stopped there when thirty-two minutes passed when John Sullivan scored the go-ahead and what became at the end the game winning goal in the 36th minute that sealed the deal for the Seaside Boys. 

Very well seeing a sort of miracle for Sullivan’s score after coming off from an ankle injury that threaten to sidelined the midfielder for the whole campaign and in this match he showed everybody his mettle and resolve.

Despite the Bohemians taking advantage of the locals error in the midfield, Keith Buckley did not hesitated to  cut the locals lead to one goal in the 81st minute but a little too late for the visiting Dubliners squad.

For now Bray side Manager Harry Kenny with four matches left in the campaign to call it quits until the next campaign in March 2017, the Seagulls play away games against the Finn Harps and Shamrock Rovers and at home against Saint Patrick’s and Cork City.

Not easy schedule but not difficult as they state that there is no such thing than an easy foe and against the Hoops and Cork City here the Bray Wanderers can play the role of spoilers.

As both the Dublin, based Rovers are currently in a tight race with Derry City to snatch the last Europa spot and the Leesiders within striking distance of Dundalk, the Gulls can be the bad news team for both of these squads.

For now the Bray Wanderers are making all sorts of headlines in league play with their amazing winning streak that so far has put them in a much comfortable position in overall table, what will their finish be, is to be seen.

Hail to the Boys of the Cumann Peile Fánaithe Bhré!
