SOCCER: Galway United vs Bray Wanderers Match Preview
Galway United are back in action for the first of two games this bank holiday weekend, as they travel to the Carlisle Grounds to take on Bray Wanderers this Friday (2nd June); kick-off is at 7:45 pm, LIVE on Galway Bay FM.
The Tribesmen are on a four-game winning run following their 3-1 victory at home to Athlone Town last week and will look to make it five on the bounce when they face third-placed Bray Wanderers on Friday evening.
Bray are coming into this fixture on a four-game unbeaten run of their own, with wins over Kerry FC away and Finn Harps at home, before most recently drawing 2-2 at home against fourth-placed Cobh Ramblers.
Manager John Caulfield spoke to the club’s media team ahead of Friday’s fixture:
“Bray have invested well this year, and after a slow start, they have come right into form.”
“They’re on a great run, but we’re on a good run ourselves, and we’re looking to keep it going.”
