  • 94'

    A silly end to the game there with niggly bits from both sides, a draw a fair result given the entire 90 though. Thank you for joining me this evening and good night.

  • 94'

    Referee ending the game with a flurry of cards as another two are handed out, to Hegarty and Omorehiomwan respectively.

  • 92'

    Two late yellows for Bray as Massey and Groome enter the book.

  • 90'

    Four minutes added on for either side to snatch a winner...

  • 90'

    Cobh making their final change with Bosnjak replacing McCarthy.

  • 84'

    Another double Cobh change with Osorio and Browne on for Holland and O'Sullivan Connell.

  • 81'

    Bray looking to hold onto this point with this change as Dave Webster comes on in place of Ben Feeney.

  • 76'

    Double Cobh change as Hegarty and Kervick replace Waweru and Drinan.

  • 73'

    Bray's second change sees Lovic replace Farrell.

  • 65'

    It is all happening now at the Carlisle as Bray go down to 10! Ger Shortt has been given his marching orders and the game has now flipped on its head.

  • 62'

    Bray make their first sub of the game just after the equaliser, Thompson on for Crowley.

  • 62'

    Hudson has been made to pay for it as Cobh do equalise. The free kick is swung in, a scramble in the box which falls to that man again Desmond who volleys home to level for Cobh.

  • 61'

    Second Bray player given a yellow as Jack Hudson gives away a cheap free kick.

  • 52'

    Bray take the lead within minutes of the restart! It is a super goal as well, Conor Crowley the scorer. He collects a bouncing loose ball, lets it drops and smashes a half volley right past Steacy and into the top corner. 2-1 Bray.

  • 48'

    Bray have their first booking as Max Murphy has a tough tackle deemed dangerous.

  • 45'

    Second half has kicked off here.

  • 46'

    Half time here at a very entertaining game at the Carlisle. Chances a plenty for both sides but only two have been converted, 1-1 here.

  • 42'

    The game has slowed well down in the latter end of the half as we approach the break, with Bray probably edging it in terms of possession.

  • 23'

    Bray are back on level terms! It's an fortunate one however as it's an own goal by Michael McCarthy. A low driven cross from Craven is turned in by the Cobh defender and it is all square at the Carlisle again.

  • 21'

    First booking of the game goes the way of the away side as Dale Holland enters the referee's notebook for a firm challenge on Ben Feeney.

  • 17'

    The away side take the lead through Luke Desmond! A cross is headed clear and finds its way to the Cobh forward, he takes it down from the sky and hits a tame volley. It looks to be heading into Alex Moody's arms but somehow, the ball goes under him. Not one the young Bray keeper will want to see again. 1-0 Cobh.

  • 12'

    Bray's first real chance and it provides a stunning save from Lee Steacy in the Cobh net. A whipped in cross finds the head of Ben Feeney and his low effort is superbly parried away by Steacy.

  • 5'

    First two chances of the game go Cobh's way and both fall to Wilson Waweru. The first is much more difficult as he has to try guide a whipped cross back across goal, which he turns over. The second he really should score as a Bray error puts him through but Moody is equal to it and saves with his feet.

  • Underway here at the Carlisle.

  • In the reverse fixture, a dogged performance by Cobh inflicted upon Bray their first defeat of the season, succumbing 2-1 to the Cork side at St Coleman's Park.

  • Three changes for Bray from their away victory at Kerry as Farrell, Hudson and Crowley come in. As for Cobh, they name an unchanged side from their draw with Athlone Town FC.

  • Good evening and welcome to a very warm Carlisle Grounds as Bray host Cobh Ramblers. Team news will follow shortly.
