The race for the Airtricity League Premier Division title has just heated up this evening as Dundalk fell to Bray Wanderers by two goals to one (2-1) at the Carlisle Grounds.

A bad night turned even worse for the Lilywhites as Darryl Horgan got sent off in the closing minutes.

This means Horgan will be unavailable for at least one game and maybe more depending on the severity of the foul.

What does this mean for the title race?

Well, Dundalk maintain a 6 point lead over second placed Cork City. Luckily for Cork City, they have two matches in hand over Dundalk which means that they could cut the lead to just goal difference with wins in their next two games.

Derry City remain just 7 points behind Dundalk and one point behind Cork City however both teams have games in hand over the Candystripes.

We’re sure to be in for a fantastic end of the season.
