Dylan McGlade the hat-trick hero for Bray while in-form Cabiniteely stay top of the table

It was a busy night of action in the SSE Airtricity League First Division on Friday.

AFTER GOING TOP of the SSE Airtricity League First Division for the very first time in the club’s history last week, Cabinteely stayed top with a 2-0 victory away to struggling Wexford on Friday night.

Goals from Rob Manley and Jack Watson before half-time saw Cabo race into a two goal lead. Wexford struggled to find a breakthrough and suffered a late setback with half an hour left on the clock when Owen McCormack was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Title-favourites Shelbourne secured back-to-back wins on Friday with a 2-0 victory against Limerick. Karl Moore gave the Reds the lead eight minutes before the break, before defender Lorcan Fitzgerald doubled Shels’ advantage from the penalty spot at Tolka Park.

Bray Wanderers bounced back from a disappointing defeat to Longford Town last week with a 3-1 victory at home to Drogheda United in front of 1,299 spectators.

Dylan McGlade netted a hat-trick at the Carlisle Grounds, while Luke Gallagher hit the target for Tim Clancy’s men.

Finally, Galway United secured their second win of the 2019 campaign with a comprehensive 4-0 victory away to Athlone Town — Cian Murphy, Conor Melody, Vinny Faherty and Wilson Waweru with the goals for the Tribesmen.

    Even when on the bench he didn’t get game time. The coach doesn’t like or trust him. Saturday once again showed just how wrong O’connor has been all season

    He has a very big chance next season with Leinster during the World Cup, midfield won’t be as competitive so he should get a good run of matches.

    Mark if Darcy doesn’t make the World Cup squad, he’ll play 12 with t’eo at 13. Then Madigan and sexton will be back so the midfield won’t be as easy to get into as you may think

    It’s always to easy to see who coaches ‘just like/don’t like’. When Gopperth played badly it was ignored whereas when Madigan played mediocre or even if Reid played well decisions went against them.

    It creates such a poisonous culture as some players start to feel entitled to spots and others feel it doesn’t matter how well they play they won’t get picked. Cody and Fergusson were masters at disregarding players identities and judging on match performance alone. MOC is such a stink manager.
