Bohemians match report

Bray Wanderers 1 (Clancy 21) Bohemian FC 2 (Corcorcan 28, 45)

Premier Division, Carlisle Grounds, 19 May 2017.

Wanderers lined up without the suspended duo of Gary McCabe and Mark Salmon. Kevin Lynch returned at left full after a two month absence through injury. Jason Marks returned to the starting X1 after missing last week’s win over Finn Harps through suspension.

After just five minutes, Kevin Lynch fed Dylan Connolly who’s shot was turned around the post by Supple. Former Wanderers under 19 player Oscar Brennan forced Cherrie into saving with his foot on twenty minutes. A minute later Wanderers broke away and Supple was forced to save from Aaron Greene.

Wanderers took the lead on 21 minutes. Kevin Lynch’s corner on the right was only cleared to Connolly who crossed for Tim Clancy to head to the net. Bohemians were level on 28 minutes when Keith Ward’s cross found Dinny Corcoran and he looped the ball over Cherrie.

A minute before the break Bohemians too the lead when Kavanagh played Ward in down the left and he went past generic vs synthroid Cherrie and went down but Corcorcan was on hand to fire the loose ball to the net.

In the second period Wanderers created most of the chances with Jason Marks and Karl Moore both forcing Supple into saves. Ger Pender headed just wide with minutes remaining following a cross from Keith Buckley on the right. In the final minute, Anto Flood set up Greene but Supple dived low to deflect the bal out for a corner.
