Soccer: Bohemians seal FAI Cup Final place

Bohemians won through to the final of the Harp Lager Senior Challenge Cup with a 2-1 win over Bray Wanderers at Dalymount Park this afternoon. Roddy Collins side got off to a perfect start when they took an early lead through Kevin Hunt on seven minutes. But Cup holders Bray came back strongly and deservedly equalised through Colm Tresson after 29 minutes. The Gypsies winner came 20 minutes from the end as Ray Kelly scored against the run of play, when only 20 seconds earlier Bray had had a goal disallowed for a foul on the keeper. Bray couldn't breakdown a dogged Bohs defence for the remainder of the match and they could only rue the suspension of their talented playmaker Jason Byrne.

Bohemians now face Shelbourne in an all Dublin final.
