                           Bray Wanderers 2 Shelbourne 2
Wanderers found themselves two goals down inside the opening eleven minutes of this premier division encounter
against the league champions.

Owen Heary opened the scoring on seven minutes with a delightful header from Bobby Ryan's corner. Four minutes
later, Ryan robbed Andrei Georgescu in midfield and advance to the left-hand corner where he crossed to Glen Crowe
who backheeled into Chris O'Connor's net.

Shelbourne were well on top, and Chris O'Connor was forced to dive at Alan Moore's feet to deny the Shelbourne
defender a third.

Wanderers then started to come into the game with Eamon Zayed in particular creating problems for the visitors. Former
Bray striker Jason Byrne forced O'Connor to parry a great drive.

                                                                             Glen Crowe blasted over from close

                                                                             Zayed then shot just wide at the other
                                                                             end.

                                                                             minutes. Stephen Fox played a pass to
                                                                             Zayed, who rounded Fleming and lobbed
                                                                             the ball over the advancing Dean

                                       New Appointment as Head of Player ID

This week, Bray appointed Anto Whelan as Head of Player ID and Recruitment to work with our Academy teams and
partner clubs. The role will include developing our Scouting/Talant ID system and developing our scouting network to
further develop our pathway for young potential players which has been the club’s strategy in recent years. The club
has seen many young players such as Leigh Kavanagh, Andrew Moran, Brian Maher, Shane Flynn and Darragh lynch
progress in their football journeys recently. The continued focus on developing young players in Bray is key to the
success and this appointment is a key component as we move forward. Anto brings a considerable wealth of experience
having managed at National League level together with a highly successful playing career in Ireland and winning many
Leagues and Cup and promotions with Bohemians, Shelbourne, Shamrock Rovers, Dundalk and of course Bray
Wanderers, to mention a few, along with three seasons at Manchester United in the UK. In addition, Anto has coached
and managed underage for many seasons and no doubt will provide much needed assistance and support to all players/
parents in the club in his role.
