Bray Wanderers – Longford Town

Bray Wanderers’ attacking display at home proved too much for Longford Town, as the hosts ran out 5‑2 winners in a match that lifted them to third place with 47 points from 31 games, their goal tally now a healthy 59‑44. The three‑point gain widened the gap to the league leaders, while Longford, sitting sixth with 41 points, saw their goal difference remain level at 41‑41 after the defeat. The result also tilted the season’s head‑to‑head balance in Bray’s favour, leaving them with one win to Longford’s two and one draw from their three encounters. Both sides will now turn their attention to the next fixtures, with Bray hoping to maintain pressure on the top and Longford seeking to claw back into the European places.
