Bray Wanderers 2 Shelbourne 3: Striker Glen Crowe was the Shelbourne hero as his dramatic winner in the third minute of added time moved the Dublin side back to the top of the Premier Division table after a roller-coaster victory over Bray Wanderers at the Carlisle Grounds last night.
Shelbourne had to come back from a two goal deficit. Bray took the lead in the 34th minute following a corner by Andrei Georgescu. Central defender Colm Tresson climbed highest to power home a header from 12 yards. Just two minutes later they stretched their lead when winger Lee Roche made no mistake from a difficult angle on the right.
Shelbourne pulled a goal back on 47 minutes when a Joseph Ndo corner on the right was powerfully headed home by unmarked defender Greg O'Halloran from close range.
Shelbourne were rewarded for increasing the pressure when Bobby Ryan fired home the equaliser on 65 minutes and it was left to Crowe to have the final say when he scraped home a shot from six yards.
