Drogheda discover playoff opponents after thrilling First Division decider

Bray Wanderers came from 2-0 down to beat Athlone Town 4-2 in a tense penalty shootout at Dalymount Park

Goalkeeper Jimmy Corcoran proved Bray's shootout hero as the Seagulls soared back from 2-0 down to win a thrilling First Division play-off final at Dalymount Park.

Though Bray had beaten Athlone in three of their games in the regular season, it was the midlanders who began much the better here, deserving their 11th minute lead. A corner came back to Kyle Robinson whose second delivery was met by Dean Ebbe to glance a header home for his 17th goal of the season.

Bray brought on Ben Feeney from the restart as they went two up top in chasing the game. And the 21-year-old striker planted a header wide before Wanderers finally got right back into it on 63 minutes when winger O’Sullivan’s drive was deflected in off the underside of the crossbar by defender Dylan Hand for an own goal.
