Youghal Utd 1 Bray Wanderers 3:PREMIER DIVISION Bray Wanderers took just eight minutes to show their cup pedigree when they eased past Youghal United at Ardrath Park, east Cork, yesterday.

Man-of-the-match John Mulroy slotted home the opening goal from Shane O’Neill’s pass and, six minutes later, it was 2-0 to Pat Devlin’s side. Ireland Under-19 star Conor Murphy started and finished the move that led to the second goal as he chipped high into the far corner of the net.

But it could have been so different had Youghal taken a gilt-edged chance in the opening minute but Bobbi Donoghue was unable to poke the ball home at the far post.

Youghal pulled a goal back through Clohessy on 34 minutes with a neat finish but Bray restored their two-goal advantage when Mulroy chipped in his second after 57 minutes.
