Bray Wanderers 2 UCD 2:A DRAMATIC added-time equaliser from midfielder Daire Doyle further eased Bray Wanderers' worries of automatic relegation in a tense clash with fellow strugglers UCD at the Carlisle Grounds last night.

The Seagulls almost broke the deadlock on 27 minutes when a cross from Dean Zambra on the right was sliced goalwards by central defender Michael Leahy. Fortunately for College, goalkeeper Billy Brennan was able to grab the ball before it entered the net.

Taking advantage of that let-off, the Students were in front on the half hour when a quick ball from the right by Chris Mulhall allowed striker David McMillan to gallop through the home defence. His first effort was blocked by goalkeeper Matt Gregg, but he calmly headed home the rebound.

College stretched their lead on 53 minutes when midfielder Greg Bolger created the opening for McMillan to play a clever reverse pass to Ciarán Kilduff. Striker McMillan then made no mistake with a clinical finish from the edge of the box.

Bray reduced the lead on the hour when following a Dave Webster throw-in on the right, captain Danny O’Connor flicked the ball on for Doyle to head home from six yards.

Defender Seán Russell went close for College with a long range free narrowly wide of the upright.
