At least four more minutes here.

Good chance for Ryan Graydon who drives into space in the Rovers half but drags his shot wide.

Sustained pressure from Rovers but Bray are standing strong. This would be a massive three points if the result stays this way for the Seagulls.

Again Brian Maher quickly off his line to slide in to save Bray as Thomas Oluwa tried to get on the end of a one-two with Brandon Kavanagh.

Callum Thompson (Bray Wanderers) takes a corner-kick after Max Murphy decided it safest to push the ball behind his line.

Adam Wells tried his luck from 40 yards and gets it on target. Brian Maher claims at the second attempt.

Brian Maher was quick off out of the box to control ball and clear before Dean Williams could get on the end of a Brandon Kavanagh ball hit with the outside of his boot.

At least one more minute in this half.

Dylan Barnett (Bray Wanderers) takes a corner-kick and he finds Killian Cantwell. He has pretty much a free header but Sean Kavanagh standing against the left Rovers post is happy to let the ball just run by him for a goal kick.

Aaron Bolger (Shamrock Rovers II) is booked for pulling back Ryan Graydon.

Aaron Bolger with a sweet volley from 30 yards with his right that seemed destined for the top corner. Groans all around from the ball retrievers around us as it just goes wide. Press box has jsut the five members of the media today - we are over in the East Stand media area.

The two Kavanagh's linke up and Brandon let's fly off Sean's pass but he doesn't work Brian Maher. Bray have shown some nice passages of play but the young Hoops side are well in this match as we near half time.

Another good run from Ryan Graydon who skips by Max Murphy and his low cross is turned behind for a corner.

Ambitious effort from Thomas Oluwa who turns the defender and shoots from 30 yards. Brian Maher is able to gather out in front of his feet.

Jordan Tallon pulls down Ryan Graydon. Bray opt to take free short. Eventually it comes to Darragh Lynch who gets his foot on the dropping ball over his right shoulder but can't get it on target.

Darragh Lynch's shot on the edge of the area is charged down by Cole Omorehiomwan.

Ryan Graydon cushions the ball and opening up he hits his volley out into the empty South Stand.

Best chance of the game there for Rovers as Thomas Oluwa shows good strength to win and hold onto the ball. He feed Sean Kavanagh whose drilled cross field ball is taking down by Brandon Kavanagh. A one-two with Dean Williams affords a shooting opportunity and he forces a save from Brian Maher.

Having scored two frees in the 2-0 win over Wexford last time out, Brandon Kavanagh hits this free well clear of the bar from 30 yards or so.

Thomas Oluwa skips by Killian Cantwell who takes him down. No booking but this is in Brandon Kavanagh range with the freekick.

3-5-2 for the Hoops today. Flat back four for Bray.

Liam Scales was the other overage outfield player that Aidan Price has used. He played one match - and scored - against Drogheda United. Scales along with Neil Farrugia is part of the Ireland under-21 squad for the game v Italy. Dean Williams and Brandon Kavanagh trained with Jim Crawford's squad during the meet but are not involved in that match - and get game time today.

Brandon Kavanagh (Shamrock Rovers II) takes a corner-kick and sends it into the busy middle but Bray do enough to clear.

Brian Maher gets down well low to his right to save Dean Williams shot off a Brandon Kavanagh square pass. The Hoops have the first corner of the game.

Bray have had more of the ball in this opening period.

#teamsheet in Tallaght. As I called it in my preview Sean Kavanagh starts for Rovers II along with Dean Williams and Leon Pohls. Only second time Aidan Price has used his one allotted overage player in a game this season. I’ll have updates here: https://t.co/yxpNunqmM7 pic.twitter.com/xjb4iw0kWW

Darragh Lynch in for Gary Shaw is the only change from Bray's 3-1 win over UCD last weekend.

Light drizzle falling in Tallaght and do I really need to tell you it is windy here today.

Ryan Graydon, who got the match winner for Bray the last time these sides met, cuts in from the left and tries to curl a right footed chance in but he hits it well wide of the target.

Gary Shaw was a doubt for today and so Gareth Cronin only names Bray's top scorer on the bench for this crucial game. Win and they go five points clear at the top of the First Division.

Thomas Oluwa with an early Rovers chance - though his effort took a touch of a Bray defender but ref Mark Moynihan says no.
