LEAGUE OF IRELAND: Losing to Bray Wanderers at the RSC tonight could leave Waterford United facing a real relegation dogfight.

Second-bottom Waterford are just a point ahead of in-form Longford Town and four behind Bray, who have a game in hand. Dave Mulcahy returns from suspension for the Blues but midfielder Daryl Kavanagh is out after breaking a leg in training this week.
