Fox saves Bray in second half

Fox popped up to head past Brendan Kennedy in the visitors’ goal in the fourth minute of injury time to force a replay at Station Road next week.

Darren McKenna put the underdogs in front after 16 minutes and for a long time that looked set to send Kildare through to the last 16.

But Bray levelled midway through the second half when Colm Tresson finished to the net after a Robbie Doyle corner.

Kildare were back in front within eight minutes through Stephen Cooling’s free kick, but Fox saved Bray’s bacon with his late, late header.
