Galway United Face FAI Cup Test vs…

Galway United host FAI Cup quarter-finalists Bray Wanderers, who have mixed form this season, in a crucial tie that could decide their playoff fate.

Bray Wanderers' Mixed Form Tests Galway United's FAI Cup Ambitions

Bray Wanderers, currently second in the First Division, 20 points behind leaders Cork City, with 43 points from 27 games, recent form WLLWW, will face Galway United in a crucial FAI Cup quarter-final tie. The match will be a test of Bray Wanderers' mixed form, which has seen them capture the Leinster Senior Cup in June, beating Bohs and Pat's en route, but also succumb to Wexford and Kerry before that.

What's at Stake for Bray Wanderers?

Bray Wanderers come into the game on the back of a 5-0 win against struggling Finn Harps, but have some familiar faces in their ranks, including former Galway United player Dean O'Shea, their skipper, Ben McCormack, and younger brother of Jason, Conor Knight, who has impressed for both Cabinteely and Bray. Ronan Ferizaj, younger brother of Justin, is a great prospect and is playing his second season of senior football at just 17.

What's Next for Galway United?

Galway United, on the other hand, will be hoping to progress in the FAI Cup, having tightened up defensively and rediscovers their goalscoring form. They go into the game unbeaten in five games in all competitions, their longest stretch of the season, and will be hopeful of a first start for Kris Twardek since his return from injury.
